I am not your father.... you do as you please.

I was just giving you heads up so you don't go out in the water all gay flipping clams around while fish and wildlife is watching.... just saying you gotta sneak them.

[Nickintex]

Ironically, this is the same person who will not let me collect butterfly clams anymore, so go figure!

So is it ok if your raising the betta as food?

Not much meat on a betta.
However, I think if EK raised schnauzers for bbq he'd be in trouble just the same. )

So is it ok if your raising the betta as food?

One way or another it will become food... if it dies my puffer and triggers will get a feast, if it wins it's probably gonna be too messed up anyways and the puffers and triggers will get their feast.... So it would be considered feeders.

[eklikewhoa]

Yes, because I didn't put two males together. They looked through the glass at eachother and didn't seem to care much about seeing one another.

All the Splendens at the LFS don't care for each other either... after seeing each other so much they don't bother flaring any but put them together and it's another story.

Put your two together and report back on how friendly they are to each other.

Yes, I have. I'm just telling you what I have read.

You have kept them but only sharing what you have read with us and not personal experience?

[fishboyt]

Have you had wild bettas?
I have seen wild bettas caught from the streams and fought just as strong or better then petstore mills.

Yes, I have. I'm just telling you what I have read.

Actually, the betta splendens that are in petstores were breed to be that agressive. Wild bettas aren't that agressive.
