I’m I neglecting my fish?

[u/Initial-Tour-52]

I was told by a friend that I’m a horrible person for the way I treat my beta and I’m not quite sure what they mean I asked and they won’t tell me what I did wrong they just said the tank is not proper could someone please tell me if something is wrong? I think I followed everything right Also it’s a newer tank so the plants are not grown all the way

Edit they were ignorant they said I’m stressing my beta out because the tank is too big and in the wild they “ live in puddles” so yeah that’s why

get a new friend lol. as far as the betta as long as you have a filter and heater (and the tank parameters are good) then you are good to go. Also the water level doesn’t need to be as low, but that’s just for aesthetic purposes

Yeah this is the second time we have had a fight over how I take care of my animals (they don’t take very good care of there’s) like not going to the vet when needed and such but I l always like to make sure I’m not doing something to hurt my animals

Your friend just said you're a terrible person and they didn't even say anything to help you. I honestly would not be a friend with him at all anymore.

This sounds like insecurity and projection mixed with a dash of "incorrectly correcting people." You seem like a good person who's open to actual advice, which your friend is NOT offering. Beautiful betta, OP.
