the tank I currently have my betta in is a terribly scratched, beat-up acrylic tank of uncertain age and provenance so I was looking at some options to eventually upgrade him. i am getting SO many results for 1-2 gallon tanks and tanks in shapes that are just WILDLY inappropriate for any fish. how on earth is it not illegal to sell those things they're so horribly cruel.

#the difference in maintenance work and footprint between a 2-gallon and a 5 or 8 gallon isn't that significant!#it really isn't!#especially if you throw some more durable live plants in there!#i do have a 3.5 gallon on my desk but i keep it empty as a quarantine tank/observation tank in case my fish look sick #it's also got uh SO much christmas moss in there like just bonkers amounts of christmas moss for its size #i can't add any of the moss to my betta tank though without risking spreading The Great Snail Infestation #those motherfuckers thrive on absolutely nothing #chatterbox tag
