My Betta Rescue Died.......

[BettaBarbara]

I blame the dummies who actually buy these thigs and let a kid put a fish in it.... The piggy one is cute for coins ONLY. They should have just marketed it for that.

True! Just think about all the little Bettas that are going to suffer and die in this silly contraption...why even suggest it as a fish tank? It's all about the gimmick and making money....

I can't stand seeing all the betta fish inside the tiny bubbles at the store, and then everyone just feels like they have to flick/tap on the glass. It's just plain cruel and it shouldn't be like that. Bettas are some of the smartest fish in the world. They can remember things like a dog, you can teach them tricks, yet they're still treated like they're dumber than your average fish. A betta fish scientist/examiner spent 20 years studying betta fish 24/7 and he taught his to go to bed whenever he said "Nighty Night" He taught his to eat when he tapped on the side. He spent hours with his betta fish and it learned things like a normal dog or cat. They aren't just some other fish, they're really special and should be treated as such. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know the feeling.

You know it's hard for people to understand that don't have Betta's how really smart they are!  My oldest and dearest Betta is one I got at Walmart half dead (the Walmarts by me do not sell Betta fish anymore, thank goodness)....but he is the smartest and funniest little fish...although I have prettier Betta's and more expensive ones....he will always be my favorite, and I dread the day when he passes....I call him the King of all my Betta's!
