Jerry and I were at a pet shop, and we saw bags containing bettas. One died. The water in the bag are filthy too.
I wonder, had I not buy Beau, will he live? See, a betta come to a pet shop healthy. After months in display, they turn sick, and nobody would want to buy them. One of the fish are even discoloured. What a pity sight.
If I were richer, I would buy those neglected fish. However, that would promote the sales of fish. I'm not against selling bettas, I am against cruelty. How hard is it to change their water? And foods are free. Really. Just give them dead mozzies. And I bought Beau from Sen's aquarium. They have a decent sized aquarium to display their bettas. Water are changed, and it's the cheapest. Well, the one we saw just now was sold at the same price, but weaker and dreadful-looking.
With me, Beau is happy. He keeps building his bubble nest, dancing and exploring his environment.
And I spoilt him too. I gave him 15 dead mozzies. And he gobbled them all. He would lie on the gravels if I lie on my bed. He is indeed a fish version of a dog. I just wish that bettas could fly. They would eat up those pesky mozzies.
