He should have bought a female betta.
- arjungmenon 18y agoThat's in fact a very good point. It is highly possible that the cause for the betta's incredible sadness was the denial of its need to procreate. The reproductive drive is so fundamental to life, especially in lower organisms that the lack of a mate has have serious consequences. This has been observed in dogs, elephants (lone elephants - they're basically male elephants doomed to celibacy, which turns them into very violent creatures), and many other animals. In fact humans are no exception.

- palish 18y agoShh!... ... they don't know they're dead! At the threshold I saw more than a thousand angels fallen from Heaven. Angrily they shouted: 'Who is this, who is not dead, yet passes through the kingdom of the dead?' ... Then they reined in their great disdain enough to say: 'Let him be gone, who has so boldly made his way into this kingdom. Let him retrace his reckless path alone -- let him see if he can, for you shall stay, you who have led him through this gloomy realm.'
