When people try to argue against big tanks for Bettas because “their fish got stressed in a big tank” and they had their fish in something like this

When they should have been in something like this:

Bettas are not stressed by large tanks. They are stressed by too much open space. They come from large floodplains and rice paddies, that are thickly planted but can reach 5 feet deep, and several hundred kilometers long. It’s not that difficult to throw a bunch of plants into a tank. It’s neglect for self amusement if you house them incorrectly on purpose, instead of doing all you can to better them.

idk how the hell i’ve run a blog called ‘botanyshitposts’ for almost four years now without ever thinking to talk about this but in high school my little brother wanted a pet that wouldnt die so we got him a moss ball for $8 at a pet store and he named it tiki and it lives in this dedicated plastic tank at our parents’ house even though we’re both at college now. usually it doesnt do anything but over the past two weeks of winter break our family has watched in horror as it has gone about the process of slowly and ominously rising from its usual position at the depths of its abode to the top, where it now floats with gravel bits stuck to it from literal years of not moving. my mom has moved it to behind the sink so now whenever i go to wash my hands in the kitchen i have to face it and im scared
