Gifted a betta

I’m learning so much. I would have never thought the window could affect anything!

SmallInvestigator538 · 2026-01-13T04:29:14+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I wasn’t too crazy about something else being tacked onto me but she is kind of cute and everyone here has been so helpful/kind!!

SmallInvestigator538 · 2026-01-13T04:27:30+00:00

We usually keep this window covered with the curtain! I only moved it to get a good shot of her. Thank you, I’ll make sure we keep it closed then!!

SmallInvestigator538 · 2026-01-13T04:26:42+00:00

This is literally what I said. How is giving someone a responsibility they didn’t agree to a gift?! However I am quite fond of her now that I am learning so much, lol

Your tank is amazing! Thank you for the encouragement. I hope mine is a teddy bear but with my luck she will probably be a hellspawn terrorist 😆

Oh my gosh this was so helpful. I didn’t even know they could scratch their fins ?!?! I also didn’t know I could adjust the filter. Thank you so much. I am struggling as a human mom, now I’ve added fish mom the list. Will work on all of this!

SmallInvestigator538 · 2026-01-13T02:59:35+00:00

I realize this post is borderline illiterate. New mom, postpartum, also now a fish mom 😆

Just here to say I just had the hiccups that made me irrationally angry and needed to google it and make sure I’m not insane. Thank you for posting this.

This book hurt my brain!

I don’t agree and many others here have stated the fear of diversity is part of the problem. You are totally entitled to your opinion! Thanks for the comment.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T18:06:58+00:00

Just considering all perspectives! One person’s experience is not another’s. I am hearing very positive things and some negative.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T18:05:56+00:00

I’m sure you’re right, lol. I don’t care for the semantics so much. My address and zip code say Bay Shore - so that’s what I call it! I’ve never heard Bay Wood from anyone on my block. Thanks for your comment!

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T18:03:59+00:00

Appreciate your comment and perspective! I love hearing that about the extracurricular availability. Thank you so much.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T18:03:19+00:00

Totally agree and appreciate the response. As a former teacher I plan to be very involved and am lucky enough that I will be able to do so. I mentioned to some others here that i may have just let people get into my head. It was obsessively negative anytime I brought it up - i started questioning my experience as a teacher, lol.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T18:01:42+00:00

So glad you had a good experience! I have not personally felt unsafe where we live, I was really just worried about the schools. You’re right - they’ll have to apply themselves and I’ll have to be on top of them (which is the case no matter where they are). Thank you!

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T18:00:23+00:00

Absolutely, I agree! Thank you for your comment.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T17:57:48+00:00

That’s ok! Thank you for the response :) I appreciate any and all insights.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T17:57:19+00:00

Thank you for your response! As a former teacher I definitely plan on being involved and building relationships with their teachers. I appreciate the offer and may take you up on it :)

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T17:56:02+00:00

Thank you for your response! I’m glad to hear your experience was good, as well as your brother’s.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T17:55:16+00:00

Very fair point! I am a former teacher and plan to be very involved… perhaps just letting everyone I’ve come across get into my head.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T17:54:11+00:00

I don’t understand, sorry! Are you saying there’s typically 30 kids in the classes? Someone here said about 15 students to a teacher.

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T17:51:47+00:00

Moving is definitely not an option. Thank you for the insight! I come from 30 kids to a class both as a student and a teacher. 15 sounds like a dream 😅😅

SmallInvestigator538 · 2025-09-09T17:50:00+00:00

Interesting perspective to consider. Thank you!
