As a pet store worker, I see a lot of people walk in and buy a betta fish without taking the proper steps to ensure a healthy and happy life for their new fishy friend. So, I want to address some common mistake I see pet parents make and how to avoid them.

The big mistake people do is buy tanks that are way too small.

Betta fish need a minimum of a five-gallon tank. If they do not have enough space to swim around, it will significantly shorten their lifespan. 

Please don’t keep your betta in a fishbowl.

Unless you want your life to be dedicated to water changed, betta fish need to be in a tank with a filter. This will help keep the water clean and healthy for your fishy friend.

Betta fish need heaters. 

Bettas thrive in water temperatures of 75-80 degrees, and standard room temperature water is too low for healthy bettas. This is why a heater is extremely important as it will help prevent your betta going into shock. 

Making sure to keep these things in mind when caring for your fish will get them a chance to live upwards for 3-4 years.

When trying to communicate large audiences, the internet is always the way to go. Virtually everyone is on the internet to some extent every day. Twitter is starting to lose its momentum as the dominant social media platform. Twitter is slowly being replaced by Instagram, for now, until something new comes along. Forbes reported that the number of monthly users has been declining more and more every quarter, it has gotten so bad that Twitter has actually decided to stop reporting the number. Instagram has passed Twitter in the number of monthly numbers, 1 billion to 270 million. The media that helps best to maintain the integrity of journalism is that fact-checking is immediately assessible. It is extremely easy to be able to look up any information you want, so audiences are able to do a lot of research in a short period of time while putting forth little amounts of effort.

I grew up in a small city in south Florida called Cape Coral, also known as Cape Coma, because nothing is open past 9 pm. I grew up in your pretty standard nuclear family, my mother, my father, me, and my younger brother. From a young age, I have had many interests, from reading and writing to music and theatre, science, and anatomy. One of my favorite obsessions is my fascination with true crime and anatomy, and this always concerned my mom because, just like everyone else, she thought it was strange. Even though I have this dark interest, I’m not a dark person. My brother and my mother have celiac disease. After watching them lay sick for years, I became a passionate advocator for education and awareness for people with gluten allergies.

I have a lot of opinions, a lot of viewpoints, and a lot of interests.
