Dear god, read this dumb question

[cocoa_pleco]

a all new dumb question...



Couple of questions about betta


Betta Lover 2104 said: A male and female betta fish in the same tank won't attack each other no matter what, right?


How do you know if a betta fish is male or female?



Also does a clownfish get along well with a regular betta fish?

[sergo]

not really dumb, just uneducated.

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, thats totally off. A saltwater fish with a betta.

[2manyfish]

You'd be surprised how many people don't know the difference!! Or even worse, that there even is a difference!!!

[cocoa_pleco]

People need to READ about each individual fish. If they guy went to google and typed in info on clown fish, he would know that a) theyre saltwater, and b) bettas are FW

Much easier to have others do research for you than to do it yourself. Googling takes a lot of work

No, but you do get the satisfaction that you just had some guy do all the work for you.

...and the poster's name was Betta lover? Well obviously not given the lack of knowledge. Geez.

[Incredulous_Ed]

Wait a minute......aren't there saltwater bettas?

[DemonShark]

Yes there are thats what made me think of.

[DemonShark]

O but I see they said REGULAR betta

[cocoa_pleco]

yeah, it was on a freshwater betta forum, not the salt ones

[DemonShark]

O jeez that is soo horible I hope noone said saracaticlly that they can or I fear a betta or clownfish may be in trouble.

[cocoa_pleco]

id say the clownfish would be screwed since hed be going in freshwater

[nanaglen2001]

You know who I blame a lot for these kind of question??

Walt Disney because they made that movie "Finding Nemo":jaws:

In this flick the fish in the tank told Nemo that being washed down the toilet means freedom for them (cause its a free ride back to the sea). I really dont want to know how many kids washed their dearest fish down the toilet, cause they wanted it to live a free and happy life in some pond or river. And thats only ONE example.

And I dont want to know how many Clownfish had to die or live a miserably very short life, cause of the Nemo-hype that followed after the movie.

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, i actually never thought of that point!

[DemonShark]

It is disney and some movies but it can be a double edged sword. This also got lots of people into fish keeping (successfully without harm to the fish) and then it killed off other fish.
