Re: [GSAS-Member] Where to Buy Betta?

[Shango Los <shango@shangolos.com>]

Thanks for the feedback, Alex.  I am always open to learn more.

Aren't Bettas in the wild living in little divots of dirt with leaves and
such?  I thought they are used to under a gallon of water mixed with leaves.
A 2.5GAL and a heater seems to be more than nature would provide.  I am very
ready to be wrong about this though.

Please explain if you coud.

Thanks

Shango
