Got a fancy new book on fishkeeping over the weekend which prompted this study (that i spent too much time on whoops).

I really don't understand people who own fish but get obnoxiously upset when you try and tell them you need to care for fish.
I'm not talking about forcing someone from plastic or painted decor to a fully planted tank... I'm talking about people who don't cycle and then change water once a year. Or continually dump fist fulls of food into the tank to the point it's accumulating and decaying. Or the people who don't think fish need water conditioner or heaters or filters in general and are happy in a vase. Or flush live fish because they're bored of them. Or who stock carnivores and prey in the same tank and cry all their money got eaten overnight.
Bonus points if people post their stupid fucking opinion that vases are great and their vase fish is happy and thriving to actual fish groups and try and discredit actual fish care.
Like the same people so quick to rush any other sort of pet to the vet will also physically fight you to d e a t h if you even hint that a fish tank needs any sort of routine care.
I can't comprehend how people don't realize fish are alive.
Fish are PETS???? Take care of your fucking pets

Some facts about Betta I read:
- Betta splendens, or also known as siamese fighting fish, or betta, originates from Thailand.
- The betta is a freshwater fish and can be found in Southeast Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar).
- Initially Betta were bred for aggression, they were used for gambling fights.
- They are highly territorial and will attack one another to death (, female betta can be territorial too).
- Betta have a labyrinth organ, which allows them to breathe air
- Hence why they are tolerant of low oxygen levels

A little girl betta fish plushie! I don't get to make girls very often (and they can be just as gorgeous as the boys!) so it's always a nice change of pace!

Piccolos colors changed and moved around a lot since I got him.
If I didn't know, I'd think he's a different fish, but that's just normal with Bettas.
He's also the chillest betta I've ever had, which is the only reason there are Guppys in his tank. Ignored them from day one. The only thing he's ever threatened was my phone.
Addendum: He is a male Plakat Betta

Update on the fins. They are very much healing. Looking so much better already. Also she gained body fat which is good.

When betta fish are sold in tiny cups, many people assume that they do well in small spaces with minimal maintenance or equipment such as heaters or filters.
Tiny betta fish aquariums can only be profitable if consumers misunderstand the needs of betta fish.
Manufacturers like Aqueon, Marina, Penn-Plax Pet Products, and others are still making tiny betta kits -- some as low as 0.25 gal.
These companies are making money off of the suffering of bettas; they are profiting from the misconceptions that they perpetuate.
Betta fish are resilient and are capable of surviving in low-quality conditions.
Bettas should have an aquarium that is a minimum of five gallons, a heater, filter, and lots of plants and hiding spaces to create a stimulating environment.
Please sign the petition asking Aqueon to discontinue its under one gallon betta fish aquariums:

Vienna's colors have really come in now that she's settled :))
I've never had a female Betta flare at everything and anything so much lmao. In the future I think she will definitely need a 10 gallon because she's so active and spicy but for now she's doing very nicely (Also I know there a ton of detritus I couldn't get most of it last water change but the tank is new enough I don't want to change too much water too often so I'll try to get all of it next time 😔)
