Ahh, my bad.*fuplies
*fuplies
As the story goes, the one and only @JuiceBox52 accidentally misspelt "guppy" and it turned into "fuplie". Then @Colin_T made it into a curse word... It's the innocent forum F word nowI don’t know what that means.
I love that you googled itThanks for the explanation. I was very confused when even Google had never heard of it.
The one in the store I saw looked naturally colored, that's why I liked it... But now that I know it's dyed, thats just sad
I had to withdraw my 'like' from the OP when I learned this.Oh... So their just dyed to look other colors? Well that's sad
It's a good job I'm not an itty-bitty mouse then eh? More like a beached whale these daysHow would you like to be an itty-bitty mouse out for a swim and have a hungry Arowana cruise up underneath you ?
Problem with trying to "save" a betta from one of those cups in a big box store is that it rewards the system that created the situation in the first place. A sale is a sale. Petco or whatever gets money for the betta so they'll just keep putting them in cups. We can try to save one at a time while perpetuating the system. Or we can save them all by making it unprofitable to treat them like this.Yes, it is sad. All the bettas with long flowing fins that have to struggle so hard to get to food and the surface. Not to mention how they start out in life with those little cups and some are half dead in the store. You might get it to survive in the short run but the damage is done and their lives are shorter no matter what you do, although bad care can shorten it even further. So many people try to “save” them and nice as that is, I’m not seeing a lot of success stories.
