    Apparently you haven't done your research.. =/. Some of those fish aren't compatible with bettas AT ALL.

    Jeesh... didn't think it was that big of a deal

    It said in the book they ate small fish anyway, they could be food or not. They were feeder fish at the pet store...

    But that wasn't their intended purpose was it? They were intended to be kept as pets just like any other of your fish. If your bettas got eaten by a bigger fish, because you didn't do your research would you say, oh I didn't like them much anyways?

    No. The neons were at the pet store for feeder fish, correct? At my house, they were to be eaten or not to be eaten, if they didn't, good, we'd name them and keep them as pets, if the got eaten...

    Yes, but you didn't buy them for that intended purpose. They were bought to be kept as pets no matter what you say.

    Please Read Fish should not be bought on a whim, and their care should be taken seriously. It can be expensive and time consuming if you do all that's needed for them. I'm not saying you are or aren't, but please read that link, it's an excellent post.

    P.S. I've never seen neons sold as feeder fish. Just goldfish..
