hehe.. no they won´t bite you.. they are pretty mellow and very sweet...

they even swim to you when they see you .. and have awesome colors.. just don´t keep two of em together or they WILL fight.. badly...

you can keep each in a bowl and they´ll be happy...

there are some fish tanks that are not that big... but as I said you have to consider lighting, heat and filtration.. and with a bowl you don´t.. just don´t keep it under direct sunlight or a cold corner and you´ll be fine as well as the fish..

let me warn you... Bettas are addictive.. once you get one you´ll want more hehe

they look addictive. Thanks for telling me about betta. I forgot that I could buy them as well.

OK if you are feeding the fish little "pebble" round hardish food (like i feed my betta) it should be however much the fish will eat, but no more then three very small pinches. (such as five pebbles a pinch)

You should change water in the bowl once a week. But before you do put the fish back in, there it this stuff availible to buy like Betta plus and other stuff for other fish and or all fish, which you should put three drops over per clean and wait three hours, then put the fish back in. Find a small container to keep the fish in (don't put the lid on the container) for three hours.

NEVER get two bettas and put them in the tank together (expesially two males but a male and female might work in spring..)

Hi Sana,

Saw your previous post about setting the pigeons free when they became too much for your family to handle. It is a common belief that birds can take care of themselves out in the "wild" and people often just let them go when they don't want them anymore. This is not true. I don't know if you got the pigeon or not yet, but please consider carefully. If you think that you can just let him go if you don't want to care for him anymore, you are doing the bird a great injustice. Captive birds that are set free get diseases, starve, or get injured or eaten by another animal very easily. Your responsibility to a captive bird is life-long so you need to know that you will care for him as long as he lives, or have a proper alternative if the time comes that you cannot keep him. You are responsible for his life, Sana. It's a very important job.

Catherine, I don't know what you learned from my story. The pigeons we let out used to stay in our home but on the roof top but later on when they had to lay eggs and stuff, they left. And its so sad, I didn't get my homing pigeons yet. We will keep them to deliver letters for us. I don't think we will let them free. Even if we do, they'd make their nest on the exhaust fan in the washing area. Its open and birds usually make their nests there. But, I wouldn't want to set them free. I love pigeons and birds. We couldn't get a cage so we thought about letting the pigeons free. Wonder how many generations have passed in their family.
