no filter, no heater, no enrichment (live plants, tank mates) probably no water dechlorinator. the equivalent of you being put in a tiny 5x5 bathroom with a single meal your whole life. bette deserve so much more than what we give them, they are intelligent and unique little guys
they do but they enjoy snails :) they get so curious like what's that moving rock doing? i've had betta get along with corrydora catfish & ghost shrimp before too, just gotta be a low profile tank mate that is smaller than them and has no visible fins (they find them threatening)
I have genuinely owned betas before and I owned all the stuff for them that the comments are saying. The fish lived with my mom after my freshman year, I still call him my fish bc that was what he was, I get their points but I just hate that instead of appreciating him and again the original point of the post of how pretty he was, everyone just says the same thing over and over about how I neglected my fish?? My mom had also owned beta stuff before, she put him in that I genuinely can’t say more
