Yknow this reminds me a lot about “why do BLACK LIVES matter? ALL LIVES MATTER!”

Chill out and let us be proud of our personal identification.

You don’t need to feel left out. I specifically reblogged this post saying that anyone who’s LGBT, or isn’t a terf, or isn’t LGBT-exclusionary, is a fishblr welcome in my tiny fish corner. That includes you?? Unless you’re a terf? Or like to exclude members of the LGBT community? Is that not enough for you?

I’m prideful of my sexuality and personal identification and I’m allowed to be prideful. Everyone is allowed to be prideful. I’m sorry if that makes you upset.

Pros of Betta splendens “sororities”:

*for those who don’t know, a sorority of betta is a tank with more than one female betta fish. Usually 20 gallons+, with 5 or more females.

Can keep multiple fish in one tank instead of multiple tanks

Can show off to others (the aesthetic!!!)

???

That’s it

Cons of Betta splendens “sororities”:

Stress is always possible.

“But plants and 100 gallons of space???” Not a valid excuse. Fish get stressed out. 100 gallons is not a substitute for a betta’s wild environment where fish can physically SWIM AWAY and KEEP SWIMMING. “lol no stress stripes and look plants!!” Still, not a valid excuse.

Unnecessary death is always possible.

“But it didn’t happen to me” Not a valid excuse. It’s always a completely unnecessary possibility.

Widespread diseases and sickness.

“But my fish don’t get sick!!” Not a valid excuse. and, lol yes they do. All fish can get sick, your fish are not genetically superior to other betta. In a tank together they can ALL get sick.

When the fish get stressed out and kill/hurt each other, you have to go out and get more tanks for each fish to be separated.

“But I have 5 spare tanks for betta” Wow you have 5 tanks that are each AT LEAST 2.5 gallons with a heater and filter? THEN WHY ARE THEY IN A SORORITY?????

The betta get absolutely NOTHING out of this arrangement.

“But they’re not lonely and have interaction with other betta and they look so happy!!!” Betta fish don’t get lonely. Betta fish don’t need friends. Betta fish don’t feel happiness when around other betta.

You promote this horrible fish keeping to others.

“But it’s so safe and cool, everyone should do it!!!” Did you read what I just wrote? It’s not safe. Not cool. Don’t do it.

TLDR;

If you keep a “sorority” it is purely for your amusement and has no benefit for the fish. That is a selfish and potentially extremely dangerous situation to DELIBERATELY put an animal into. There is no good reason to keep a sorority.

A couple weeks ago my mom got one of these decorations for my 5 gal tank for my little betta girl(it was originally for my 36 gal but didn’t fit with the decor.) A couple days after putting it in, I noticed my girl getting very lethargic, not moving and not being her feisty little self at all. I took it out and changed the water and it seemed to help her a little but the damage was done. Soon she was again lethargic and at the bottom and as a last ditch effort I did a 100% water change but it was too late and my opal had past. With advice from others I had to boil my other decorations, bleach my tank and replace the gravel to make my tank safe again These decorations are just dangerous and killed two of my babies. Be careful if you see these at Walmart, I couldn’t even find them in the fish section on the Walmart website.
