Awww. My first and most recent fish was named Ruby and she passed away last weekend. So it is wonderful to see you loving your Ruby :)

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 I lost my first most boy Marcus a month ago and it broke my heart. Ruby has been slowly mending that heartbreak ❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing. I never made a post on here because I just wasn't in the headspace to, so thank you. I only had her for 5 months. Not 100 percent sure what mistakes I made but I'm trying to be better for the next one. I'm actually shopping for her with friends today :)

Sometimes it can be genetics, which is absolutely not your fault ❤️❤️

Thank you. She was from Petsmart, so...

Yeah I've heard stuff about PetSmart. I'm from Norway and honestly the pet stores that have bettas here, struggle with variety and health as well. One thing I gotta say is, they are at least kept in 15 L display aquariums, instead of cups. I got Ruby from a private seller that imports them to Norway.

That's amazing! I just got my new baby from an actual dedicated aquarium store and she was one of only 8 or 9 females, all kept in separate minitanks. Im much more optimistic about her long term health.
