bettas in Bowl

[Xavier]

To the two bowl keepers, this thread was started by someone who was asking a valid question and was curious for the answer. Most replies were to that question. You disagreed with the answers given and proposed your alternatives. The responses have been either direct or indirect, but not all are dealing with you in mind, but the question at large. If someone talks about keeping fish in bowls as bad, that is their opinion on the question. If you poke them and cry fowl, then they WILL address you directly... which is no reason to poke them more and cry fowl again.

[Speech not required, I'm not thrilled about it either lol]

I can appreciate that Trillianne [No regrets required on your part, It's all good] and I already apologized for the language and posting.

Please note it was posted by accident and it would be gone already if it was within my power to delete it.

I don't know who takes care of these things so now it is a matter of wait and see.

Worth repeating.

Thanks Irish.

Irish your betta is such a pretty boy!!!!!! :D Xavier, around the states, Bettas are around 3.00 to 5.00 for one that someone could buy at a "big box" pet store.
The whole thought about keeping them in little jar with no filtration or heater and putting them on a heating pad seems really odd, but not surprising unfortunately, considering the source the person who said they do that. It reminds me of some science experiment and makes me think that the fish are sitting there just like some sort of house decoration instead of a pet.

Yea for crowntails and vailtails. But if you wan't some thing else you could pay any where from $10 to $100+ denpending on the fish. But if you strait from the dealer/breeder you'll only pay $3 to $30 some times more

I'll probably regret this later but.... Freedom of Speech does not apply to this situation. Freedom of Speech actually applies to the government censoring before or punishing people after, and is not universal throughout the world.

This forum is a private message board and as such is moderated by its own rules. Which is one of the reasons you don't see curse filled postings. You are actually NOT free to say whatever you like on this forum, and have agreed to abide by the forum rules.

Freedom of Speech is not a license to say whatever you want to say to whomever you want to say whenever you want to say without any consequences from anyone.

Well said.

The subject has now been beat to death until only the insults thrown around is all that's left. I'm closing this thread since no one has learned how to "walk away" from a topic going nowhere.

Your post was excellent, IMO.
