[edit] No problem
Are you new here or what? I always try to welcome new red-linked talk pages on my watchlist. And Siamese fighting fish is one that I recently added. Do you have a betta? I noticed you edited the section on tank sizes, and may I say you did a good job. I also feel sorry for all the poor fish who are kept by ill-informed owners who think bettas enjoy living in small cups or bowls, or can feed off the roots of a plant. My problem is trying not to turn the betta page into a "how-to" article on keeping bettas (which is against policy)... but its all in how you word it. Its better to say "bettas thrive in large, heated tanks" instead of saying "you should keep your betta in a large, heated tank"... I think thats the difference between a "how-to" article and an "encyclopedic" article. Keep up the good work! --ErgoSum88 (talk) 05:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
