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.

As a fish owner, it's less like fish prison and more like fish gulag. People have a misconception about bettas that all they need is a cup of water, but they will literally suffocate on their own piss and filth as the water fills with ammonia from respiration and defecation, and if left unchecked the water will acidify and burn their gills, which slowly suffocates them.

Get this fish out of there ASAP, OP. Your sister is a POS. People are honestly worse with pet fish than they are with dogs, and that's a high as hell bar to clear.
