    Some Very Sad Betta News... =(

    Yesterday:
    http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...threadid=88448

    This morning, I recieved this email from Olivia. (Puggywuggles41893)...

    This is one of the saddest days in my entire life. This morning I woke up and I went over to look at Azul. He wasn't in his tank, I immediately thought I just couldn't see him so I looked behind the tank. After a minute or so I remembered the back of the tank. In the back of a tank was a big hole... o.m.g. That's when I knew he must have jumped. My heart started pounding and my eyes went blurry. There he was, under my desk. You know the stupid thing is that the company the all glass aquarium company, or whatever, was advertising the tank I bought as a betta tank. I bought it and let my Dad set it up because I can never make anything work. He doesn't know that betas jump, so he never thought anything of it. I never noticed the hole in the back because there is a big plastic thing in front of it so if you looked at it you wouldn't notice it until you were looking down at it. I feel so stupid that I didn't notice that sooner.

    She asked me to tell you guys about this... Please, send good vibes her way. Rest in Peace, gorgeous Azul.

    thats SO sad! it always amazes me how great at jumping our little Bettas are. RIP Azul, I'm really sorry Olivia!

    this should be a clue for everyone to go check on their Bettas and cover up holes! EVEN tiny holes! Many Bettas have jumped through the 1/2" x 1" aquaview feeder holes to their death -.-

    dont worry ... you can just cover it up with a small flap of paper taped over it, or seran wrap or whatever. Just anything to stop them from getting out of it! I always worried about Kula jumping, because she sits under that hole a lot cos it's her feeding hole ~_~
