    Those are great, Darren. I need to get another one sometime. I have a huge tank full of plants and no fish ... lol I just hate seeing them for sell in stores all stacked on a shelf in those little plastic containers.

    Cheers,

    In actual fact, Bettas evolved in a part of the world where there are lots of small pools of water and, because they can take oxygen from the air, the water they live in can be quite stagnant--I understand they have been found in the wild in really small pockets of isolated water. So, although it may look wrong to see them stacked on the shelves, they are probably not unhappy.

    The colors of Bettas are stunning, aren't they? Gorgeous, Darren! I, like many others (I suspect) on this forum, have kept tropical fish. I wonder how of us have done so?

    Cheers,
    Rob

    Thanks Rob, Yes they are gorgeous! I agreed with you, betta fish shouldn't kept in small container or decoration, but some people out there so cruel keep betta in vase with the plant decoration,so far i know a few people in this forum know how to keep their fish live healthy & happy.
