My daughter got a betta fish as a part favor for a 5 year old birthday party. I took her in and saw all the fish in bowls on the kitchen counter. I said “you’re giving fish as a party favor!”. If I had known, that would have been a “no”! But we had that fish for 6 years and when I went to feed it (of course, it was ME who fed it and clean out the bowl water….for SIX YEARS- we had 6 cats, and I had a F/T job and was a P/T student, had 2 children and my mom living with us, but it was NO BOTHER!….well, when I went to feed it, it would get excited- it wiggled its whole body, when I picked up the little food container. IT KNEW.
