"Adopting a betta fish can be a rewarding experience, and it’s a great way to make a positive impact while providing a safe and nurturing environment for a deserving pet."

"By shedding light on how tank conditions influence these vibrant and intelligent fish, Life Beyond a Jar calls for re-evaluating how bettas are housed and cared for in pet stores and at home."

"Fortunately, cups are not the only way to display bettas in stores. More retailers are recognizing the importance of humane fish care and adopting better display methods that promote fish health and customer engagement."

"Aqueon's decision to discontinue its five under-one-gallon betta fish kits marks a positive shift in the pet industry, driven by growing public awareness of proper betta care and ethical pet-keeping standards."

"Live plants are beneficial for bettas in more ways than one. While providing oxygen and improving water quality, they serve as hiding spots and reduce stress for bettas. And don’t forget that plants enhance the visual appeal of the aquarium."

"The betta fish requires dedicated care to thrive in captivity and can live 2-5 years with proper attention."
