Regarding Koi-Lo's "info" = )~

You should know by know Caro is a hbitual liar and its her way or no
way as everyone else is wrong.....Betta thrive just fine in a small
bowl or large aquarium just fine, and only require minimal care. I
guess going on what the so called Guru of fish Carol states, all my
bettas in those 1 quart mason jars are doomed.......that is unless I
biuy Ivy contianers then they will be just fine.

=== ===================
=== I HAVE seen the pictures and it's PROOF that you are housing them in
=== tiny Ivy bowls.
===
=== ## What tiny ivy bowls? These bowls hold slightly less than 1/2 gallon of
=== water and are changed weekly. Ammonia and nitrites are zero.
===
=== That is UNSUITABLE for housing Bettas!
===
=== ## In your opinion. Millions of bettas are housed in smaller containers
=== than these.
===
=== In your pictures that boast about, it clearly shows things around them
=== for size comparison.
===
=== ## So? These hold slightly less than 1/2 gallon of water. Ammonia and
=== nitrites are zero.
===
=== They are much too tiny to house Bettas in. It's cruel.
===
=== ## That's YOUR OPINION. It's cruel to breed them, sell them and not know
=== where they're going to end up. Next you'll claim you personally visit every
=== household your thousands of young fish go to to make sure all get heated,
=== filtered tanks. That must take at least 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365
=== days a year......... when do you have time for anything else?
===
=== And damned right I'm ragging at you for it because you seem to think
=== it's all fine and dandy.
===
=== ## You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. They live 4
=== years, sometimes longer in these bowls and jars, are well fed and can see
=== each other, us and look out the window. Now if you're so concerned you can
=== donate 9 or 10 heated filtered 2 gallon tanks and I will try and find space
=== for them somewhere in my sunroom.
===
=== It simply is not right.
===
=== ## Nor is it right for you to force your views on someone else who has
=== successfully kept and bred bettas themselves.
===
=== You wouldn't house a Koi, fully grown in a 20g tank would you?
===
=== ## Now you're going to compare them with koi? I don't think so.....
===
=== Same difference. Yet you think it's perfectly fine to do it to Bettas.
===
=== ## What am I doing to them? Next you'll claim you personally visit every
=== household your thousands of young fish go to to make sure all get heated,
=== filtered tanks. That must take at least 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365
=== days a year......... when do you have time for anything else? Do you
=== purchase heated, filtered 2 gallon tanks for your culls and those unsold or
=== do you euthanize them? You must be very rich and live in a huge house.
===
=== Why on earth would you take proper care of only some of your animals?
===
=== ## But that's YOUR OPINION. It's cruel to breed them, sell them and not

===
=== Once again, Ivy bowls are MUCH too small
===
=== ## Once again. I don't have ivy bowls. :-) If you'd care to send me 9 or
=== 10 tanks complete with filters and heaters I will try and find space in the
=== sunroom. Too bad I'm not rich like you, huh? These are the prices,
=== rounded off that I found in catalogs and at PetSmart.
===
=== 2 gallon tank = $10.00
=== 25w submersible or short heater = $17.00
=== Thermometer = $3.00
=== Small Azoo filter w/extra pads = 7.00
===
=== Times 10 bettas = $370.00
