yea ok the whole point of this thread was that i was just wonderingCan you afford different tanks & leave the betta alone in his own tank? I found a betta setup on Craigslist.$40. 10 G hooded nice tank with filter, air pump & huge basket of chemicals. Seller was a kid going off to college & her siblings & parents didn’t want the betta. They lived in a huge gated McMansion development I had no idea even existed.
The day before I was to pick it up, the girl called to say she found it severed in two parts & wanted to sell the tank etc for the same $40.
She was so upset that I didn‘t try bargaining. The tank was littered with ugly decor & the most likely cause of death was some godawful big fake seashell she had in there. idk.
So I bought the setup, still an excellent value minus that pretty peach colored betta. Then I ordered my purple guy on ebay. I would never expose him to other fish or any source of potential harm after listening to that poor girl sob & I had kinda fallen in love with his pic.
All the fake crap decor was immediately thrown out. There’s only some live plants & a few snails in his tank.
im too broke to afford more than one betta
