would my fish die if....?

Question

would a betta fish die if it was put into a school locker? Of course if would be put into a tank first, and I would clean it's water, and feed it.

Also, how much are betta fish?

Answer 1

if the tank is properly filtered which it won't because u need a plug in and i think they are a little bit of money either a lot or a little.

Answer 2

Bettas should not be placed in places where it is restrictive. Given males are agressive they are still living things and deserve much better conditions than that. Plus, my locker is currently filled with food, where would anyone with a food locker place a betta?

They cost anything from 2 dollars for a female Betta to however much is the max.... a normal male betta is around 3 or 4 dollars.

Answer 3

Betta splendens, like other tropical fish, come from a warm climate.
They normally would see sunlight every day, & even though Bettas don't need a high dissolved oxygen in the water, because of thier air-breathing capability, they would normally have it with the movement of the breeze across the water's surface, where they spend most of their time.

A school locker is about as far away from all of this as you can get.

Do not inflict this kind of imprisonment on a Betta or anything else live - lockers are for stashing non-living materials.

Look into some alternatives.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Please reconsider. Living things need light. Besides the little bowl that would fit into the locker would not give him much room. I personally don't think a betta should be kept in less than a gallon of water. Better yet, in a regular aquarium with lights and filtration.

Answer 5

That's just cruel. plain and simple. How would you like to live in a little closet and only see someone for a couple minutes here and there and not eat on the weekends and have stuffy air to breathe? I think you'd die of depression and so would the fish.

Answer 6

first see how ur gonna get it in there, if it fits, and put it somewhre where its not gonna get move around every time you go put ur books in it? and watch the noise level cuz even bettas get stressed real easy, and one last thing the school probably turn off the heating system on weekends, the school can get frezzing cold, especialy during the winter, so i really dought u can do this but good luck

Answer 7

Beta fish, from personal experience, like company, at least good company. They are different from your run of the mill fish, not just because they have an air chamber that allows them to remain motionless.

That air chamber, because they don't have to move around all the time, makes it so they can use their brain to ponder less mudane things. Don't underestimate that fish or undervalue its life.

Answer 8

I wouldn't recommend it in your locker. You could ask your science teacher to keep it in the science room. That would be much safer than in a locker. Also most schools wouldn't allow you to keep an animal in your locker. I would juat ask your science teacher just to be on the safe side.

Answer 9

well,it probably wouldn.t die,because thwey have all the oxygen they need in the water.but it would probably go mad from the darkness.my betta fish(when i had one) cost about 12$

Answer 10

Who would feed it on the weekends? What if it gets knocked over? How would you clean its bowl? Even though they are very inexpensive to keep, you need to consider these questions. My advice is that you keep him at home.
