    Selling betas should be outlawed. The breeding factories and way they are kept in stores and by most people are cruel.

    I hate seeing betas in pet stores. They keep them in tiny plastic cups. It's so cruel.

    I couldn't believe what I saw the first time I witnessed a mandarin duck on a drab grey walk. I'd never seen such colour on an animal outside a zoo. I googled something like 'orange duck' and found what they were. Been fascinated since.

    Thanks for posting! We also have a huge problem in Southern Africa, as introduced basses, trout and carp are basically taking over and wiping out indigenous fish species. The biggest obstacle we have in remedying the problem is the recreational sport fishing fraternity who by and large don't really care so long as they can catch and release their favourite alien exotic invader species.

    • @zeph6439

      BTW the best way to remove bass is during the spawning season, when you can catch the big ones and breeders easily by dragging a lure such as a spinnerbait through their nests. Carp are best removed by netting them when they gather near river inlets to spawn in early Spring.

      It's sad to see but it's normal, wild animals often have parasites and phatogens. Aquariums are controlled environments so parasites are usually a sign of poor husbandry. But In nature it's normal, hence why wild caught fish are quarantined.

    I'll never keep another betta. They're fascinating fish, and really satisfying to care for, but it was super depressing to see my little homie building his bubble nests, and then just waiting and waiting for a ladyfish to show up in his tank :(

    It's a real shame the last one will likely go extinct. If we can save it it's new adaptation to not being as territorial would be good if it could someday be used for the domestic side of it because those fish that evolved from it's ancestors are aggressive. I hope somehow they get conservation efforts and it can bounce back.
