betta

Even if your Betta is hyper intelligent, your little home for him is, basically, what he was designed for.

This is why you can also leave a Betta in dirty water for a long time.

One day, after the betta had been in his new home for several weeks, I found him exploring.

Fairly simple setup but I've got a lot of space to work and room for my betta fish.

I only recently got a betta fish and have often pondered how he feels about his captivity.

What does the betta fish mirror has to do with anything regarding friendship?

The betta was the sole occupant of the tank in my bedroom.

At times I almost envied the betta for the nice home I'd made for him.

I really want to get a pet fish, like a betta for my mental health.

I had so much water in the first tail lights I could house a betta.

I'm staying with some friends right now who, just this past week, rescued a Betta from filthy water in a long empty dorm room.

That said, there's a blog post in one of the comments here where the author chronicles a similar sentiment, where his Betta fish at least apparently chose suicide (!).

The most relevant part is the section titled "My betta", and here's a teaser: "I had taken to lying on my bed and watching my betta for an hour or longer.

"Betta (pron.: /ˈbɛtə/) is a large genus of small, often colorful, freshwater ray-finned fishes"

At some level, the truth or falsity of the proposition, "the betta feels trapped", is irrelevant, because we find what we need in the piece.

I think it's a typo of "betta" for "better."

Seems a lot of interest this week in exploring approaches to Rails starter apps: Cristiano Betta's Primo [1], Carbon Five's Raygun [2], this script from TaskRabbit.
