Many of you are faced with the uncurable disease known as....
...the betta bug.
Now if you are stuck with this futile bug, theres is no much to do but try to resist the urge.
In this 5 week process, you will learn to slowly drive past the LPS, Not buy any more tanks, and ban aquabid from your home computer.
Week 1-
Week one is the hardest, in week one, you really do have to resist the urge. So, you just got your first betta. STOP! Theres where youve made your first big mistake. Now that you have your first betta your addicted for life. You see him/her swimming in circles, begging for food, doing the little betta dance. Your so mezmorized by the bettas poetic style. The next day you go back to the pet store to buy bloodworms for your betta, who so called "talked" you into it with a betta wiggle dance. STOP! This is your second mistake. Don't you think when you go in this store theres going to be a ton more bettas, doing the wiggle dance in there little cup waiting to be brought home. Yes, they are waiting. So you pick up a cup and go..."ahh your so cute" you then put the betta in your cart. Now shame on you. You failed. Take the betta out of the cart and put him back on the shelf...he/she will find aother home. Now go get your bloodworms. And no bloodworms dont have fins.
Week 2
Week two gets a little easier, now that you have resisted the urge to buy a betta at the LPS, you have to learn to drive past. Now, your going to safeway and there just happens to be a petco right next to safeway. You think why, im out of conditionar. First, LIAR. Second, you can get conditioner in safeway. Now, get out of your car and go shopping. So, your in the pet isle insafeway and see a 5 gallon fish tank. You thnik, well i could move squiggles into the 5 gallon and have an empty tank. What shall i do with the empty tank..oh theres a petco right there ill go get another betta. STOP! Put the tank down,get what you REALLY needed nd leave..NOW!!!
Week 3
Banning aquabid from your home computer is the most benificary think you can do for your survival. Everytime you go on your computer you go on aquabid right now. You see all those pretty halfmoons. Then, one catches your eye, a green marble masked ohm...Ooh he's located in the USA and only currently at $10.00. You scroll down to bid...STOP! No dont bid, then your gonna have another betta and thats what were trying to avoid here. Don;t bid. If its a nice enough betta, someone else will buy him and you wont be faced with the consequences of cleaning 15+ betta tanks a week. Now, go on to your history and DELETE any aquabid history that you have. Also, delete aquabid from your favorites. You know what, just ban aquabid from your computer. Tell yoruself...NO MORE AQUABID.
Conclusion
Now that youve gotten this far and stilol only have one betta, your in luck. Just continue these basic steps until you no longer feel the urge to buy another betta
Now on the other hand if you did indeed buy another betta...well your screwed.
You now have whats known to some people as MBS/MTS or to others as "the betta bug"
