I need some “sensible and practical advice”
I was browsing my LFS the other day looking for a new filter (one of mine died), I happened to pass a section with “betta cubes” – I was appalled (first time I’ve physically seen them in the ’flesh’). Anyway in the “larger” one 1.2 litres they have a small female betta…(unheated and un filtered)….
Do I buy her (from the shop I vowed never to buy anything else from) to ‘rescue’ her with the risk that they’ll just put another one in there (they didn’t have any more in stock)? Or do I leave her?
If I leave her well we can all guess at what will happen; or do I take her home and chance putting her in with my sorority (I can’t quarantine her – well I could; however I am going away for a few days and my mam will be looking after them and there is “no chance” of another tank).
The sensible part of me says leave her; the nice part says ‘rescue’ her.
