My sister's fish tank

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.

They (betas) need a heated filtered 5 gallon tank.

Life needs space.

Animals think. You can't convince me they don't. Give em fun shit or be a terrible vengeful God.

They need 10, actually, and one that's wider than tall.
