i would consider signing this just for the fact that i know how often people buy fish on impulse, especially bettas.

at the same time however, my most beautiful and healthy bettas have all come to me as either babies that were barely showing color(about 1cm) and babies that i bred from them.

i would actually be happier if they started providing the right information as to the requirements for care. as it is, they just want to make money off of the impulse purchases...

i have recomended those baby bettas to several middle school age kids in the past, and they are generaly successful in raising very healthy bettas.

then again, i also supply them with several types of live food cultures, and show them how to take care of them, as well as describing the nitrogen cycle to them and such.

its a teaching method.

maybe im just weird?
