Adopting out a betta...

[3fsh]

I am possibly going to be giving one of my bettas to a friend because I don't have enough time with college and work to take care of all of my fish. The good thing about this is that he is my trombone teacher and I will get to see the betta every time I go to have my private lessons. (He would keep it in his office.) Are there any fact sheets I could print out for him? He is completely new to the world of fish and, athough I have explained betta care in detail to him, it might help if he had a sheet to reference for any questions or concerns. Thanks in advance!!!

I wrote up something some time ago when I started giving away my young Bettas. It's written up in Microsoft Word, so it'd be real easy to make any changes to it that you might desire. I could e-mail you a copy if you PMed me your e-mail address, and if you want it. It's a full Betta caresheet, by the way.

I'd be interested in getting a copy of this as well if you don't mind. I've thought about carrying copies around in my purse to hand out to people I run into at Walmart. A lot of people I talk to there are interested in more information.

Sure. It's just shy of two pages, but I'll send it your way. Please feel free to change anything on it if you don't agree with me. I know everyone has their own different opinions on what "proper" Betta care is.

Ooh...that's a good idea to carry these around. Can you send it to me too, Kiarra? Thanks!

 

[BettaMomma]

I would LOVE one too!

Hmmm, I think I could just leave a few of those sheets laying around on the betta shelf every time I go into WalMart....

I too have a care sheet in case anyone wants two differant ones. Mine's a little more detailed and longer, however. Some of it I stole from Kiarra, like the tankmates part. ^^ But she knows I did.

 

[Kiarra]

Yep. Parts stolen with my express permission.

In my e-mail account and sending out now to everyone who PMed me their e-mail address....

 

[ThatDarnDragon]

Kiarra, maybe you should post that fact sheet on a forum? I'd like to see it too!

 

[Kiarra]

Well, it's kind of long. I didn't double-space it, and it's about two pages long. I'd be more than happy to e-mail it to you, though.

 

[red-devil0602]

can you guys that have the care sheets please email them to me if you still have them as i would like to add them to my site if thats ok with you, and also i can give 1 out with jack when he gets adopted

 

[OrkyBetta]

Those would be great to have around, would you mind emailing me one? My email adress is in my lookup. Thanks in advance! I am thinking about nonchalantly dropping some in my lfs, and hope they take a descrete hint.

Kiarra, if you like you could send it to me and I could do it up in html format for you. Then you could link to it or post it yourself, whichever you like. I'd actually really appreciate it because I'm working at a library this summer, and have access to a whole whack of technological gobledygook to be used for the education of lil kiddies Therefore I can do this on company time since it's educational, AND I'd get to enjoy it!
