I'm a poor owner of a fish...

Well if I were the fish I would be very happy to have you as an owner. I can see that you did your best to provide me a decent home. I think it's okay if you don't have an aquarium yet because you only have one fish. Just change the water on the vase regularly though.

I admire you for being a lover of fish which is I think a good hobby. Buying your own fish to take care is a better choice than others who just do nothing for their whole life but to enjoy themselves. I think that as long as your fish is safe and given the proper treatment from you, his lover, it's not a big concern. When you have the budget, you can always buy an acquarium where your loving fish will stay to be safe.

Dear friend, I could see that how much you care on your fish. Moroever if there are other pets they could even harm that fish, especially cats. Anyhow may be you cout see your most often. Hope you will soon get a right acquarium for that blue fighter. When I was a child I too used to keep fishes, at that time I had a small acquarium, most of fishes were golden fishes, golden and black angels. I feel it is passion for many....

It is said that fish live longer in an aquarium. However, Beta fish live a perfectly long life in a bowl if well cared for. I had a red Beta fish when I was a kid and I recall it living long. It was in a vase. Beta fish are known for their decent life spans. They're intelligent fish too. They don't get along with other fish though. They are pretty easy to care for. You're doing good changing his water twice a week, since thats the recommended ammount. Also, when you change his water allow the water to sit there over night that you plan to put him in so the tempiture gets nice. Thats should be your main focis, the temp of the water. There may be something you can buy to help keep the water in the vase warm. If you get an aquarium, you can't just put your one fish in it, you'd need to buy a Beta fish seperater and other fish which would be very expensive. Just stick with the vase. Thats where beta fish are meant to be ussually unless its in a seperater in a tank. Betas are hard to care for, as long as you put time into it I think he'll be happy.

im sure barry will be just fine in his home, as it sounds like you take good care of him, maybe one day soon before you know it you will have the extra money to buy him the aquariaum you want.. just hang in there mean time and try to save up as much as you can and put it away and then you will maybe save enough to buy it.. if you start saving now you will have the money before you know it. good luck with barry..

Don't worry. In time you will be able to buy the perfect home for your pet. We used to have a large aquarium for our pet fishes but had to let go of it when we transferred. It was so cumbersome to be bringing the aquarium since it was heavy so we donated the fishes to a bank that has a nice pond with fishes in it and we just left the aquarium in the house where we used to live. But that was several years ago I am sure the next occupants got rid of it already.

Hi bro, I don't think you have financial problems. I mean you are a son of a rich father, right? You can have what you want. Where is your dad now, bro? We haven't talked for ages, have we? I mean you disappered recently, but I know you must be busy.

or, I think you are a nature-loving man. You treat your little fish so gentlely, caring it like your own kid. so lovely. you are not poor, but full of love in your heart. you will get a decent aquarium for him before long, I believe.
