Fish order unboxing

[@garageaquatics2023]

That's a nice lot of fish, Matt! $20 USD is pretty much typical retail here for Bettas. I hope you'll record some of the upcoming fish auction. That'll be fun to see. Cheers, Mate! ~Ron

You must surprise a few people with the Chinese

[@duthieaquatics]

A few but if they are an old auntie nothing surprises them they’ve seen it all and heard it all before 🤣

Should i keep a single paradise fish in a 7 gallon tank?

[@duthieaquatics]

Yes that is fine for one

I enjoyed your videos until you endorsed Bettas in bowls. Big difference between 1-2 litres of water for 12-24 hours, under 10 litres for their whole life and plenty of room. Bettas are very explorative and personable. Enjoy having space just like humans do..

I know it controversial for the fish community. But I won’t chastise anyone who has their betta in a bowl especially if they are taking care of it well. A small bowl if fine for a betta for 6 months, the ranges they have in the wild are tiny and during the dry season will drastically reduce in size where the myth that they live in the puddles made by water buffalo comes from. But if you do have betta in a small bowl there are many things that you can do similar to enrichment programs that zoo’s conduct feed live food and rescaping there bowl when doing a water change and have the bowl in a place that it will have regular interactions with you or other members of the household are all good way for a betta to be happy.
