| Adopt or not to Adopt... that is the question
I was scrolling through kijiji and I came across an add that... well intrigues me I guess.
Someone is moving and can't take their betta and tank with them. Not sure though what kind of "tank" it might be. That they have a fish net would at first thought make me think it's not a bowl but I can't be sure... what do you guys think? Should i contact them and say I'll buy the little guy or not? http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-pets-ac...AdIdZ154764596 |

| IMO-yes! This betta, even if it is in a bowl, would have a great home with you.
You could always put an air bubbler in there for a few weeks until you could set up a betta tank for him, right? | |

| I whole heartedly, 100%, no question completely agree with bolivian. I just brought home two cup babies this morning and it was well worth it in hopes they'll survive their previous experiences. You know how to give the little betta a proper home or adapt the one she or he is in now.
I think I can safely say that MartinisMommy will equally agree with us. | |

| I agree, too, that you need to give this little guy a home! I think you put this up here because you know if you didn't ... we'd all get mad at you  So...now we've justified it for you. I expect pictures soon!

| What would I do without you my enablers? rofl
I sent the e-mail out and the responce I got is that they'll "check if he's still here" and get back to me... that's... and interesting way of wording it... could just be that the person who's e-mail they're using isn't the person who's in charge of the fish but... | |

It is a very strange response. I see they mentioned a net, but no mention of a filter, heater or light. Hope the pretty little blue guy will be okay whether he winds up in your hands or not, Red. Let us know! | |

| That's great! Someone around here is giving away a maroon clown fish. A fish is a fish no matter how small. The betta is getting a great home. Bettas are pretty small, right? | |

| Congrats! You may want to Q him if he's been in poor conditions from living in a bowl...he may have developed a fungus or something. | |
