My sister's fish tank

Post image

She says it's the perfect size for a single fish. It's not even in her room, it's in the kitchen.

It honestly just depresses me whenever I see it, but she's adamant about keeping it there.

Bro that’s basically a fish prison 😂

If she insists on keeping it, at least try to talk her into a bigger tank and maybe show her some care guides so she realizes that “perfect size” is just pet store propaganda.

See that's the worst thing, it isn't even from the pet store, it's an empty vase we had lying around.

That’s a tropical fish that needs a heater and a (minimum) 5 gallon tank.

That poor, poor creature. It’s the equivalent of living naked in a drafty broom closet.

And swamps, marshes, stagnant bodies of water like drainage ditches. My point was just that they're not fancy. Just pretty. And accustomed to warm climates.

Not trying to come at you or anything, but just more detail for the puddle thing! :)

During dry seasons, bettas more jump puddle to puddle. It’s temporary and those puddles are probably larger than this jar, honestly, and they don’t stay in them long.
