My friend started to get interested in fish, and one day bought a Eclipse 10g. Two days later, three hours after he put the water in, he went to the lfs and bought one tiger barb, 4 comet goldfish, and two baby knife-fish.
One day later, two of the goldfish were dead, and I directed him to this site. Bad idea...
After half an hour, he turned to me and said "Who ARE these idiots? They think it's wrong to keep goldfish in a bowl, and wrong to put two bettas together!"
Needless to say, I was LMAO before the end of the sentence.  _________________ Praemia Virtutis |

Well, like the man said, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it think." Nay, at least make it think about anything besides hay, grain, lady horses and open fields. |

I'm new to this whole fish thing too but I'm now seeing things people are doing incorrectly with their fish. Ignorance is one thing, but rejecting knowledge is another. |

Oh Mr coffee,
Tell your friend he CAN keep goldfish in a bowl... and he CAN keep goldfish in the freezer. It just isn't too good for the goldfish.
As far as the bettas go (I'm assuming they're males) Tell him this:
5 bettas in a small bowl,
set inside a cockfighting ring,
built within a bull fighting arena,
Ernest Hemingway,
lots of tequila,
fists full of cash... It could happen!
but I wouldn't want to be the fish
On second thought... don't give him any ideas  _________________ Think like a fish |

Oh well. Hopefully he'll get discouraged and give up keeping fish before he can kill too many. |
