Beta Fish

Last week Friday we went to check on our fish but we ended up doing more than check on it. It was "fine" I think but anyway, we ended up looking at other fishes and we found out that the female fishes are much friendlier than the male fish. If you put your finger on the tank (female beta fish) the fish swims towards your finger and when you move your finger around the fish moves with it whereas if you put your finger on the male's "tank"(jar) it gets "shocked" and swim to the opposite direction. We also observed how the male beta fishs' water is changed and it was quite disgusting. An interesting fact that Ms Gwen told us, which we still find hard to believe, is that the fishs' stomack is as big as its one eye so when you feed the male beta fish you should look at its eye then break the food down to the size as small as its eye.
So yeah, fishes are quite difficult to look after and if you're a lazy person don't get a fish as a pet becasue then it's going to die faster than it will take you to study ESC.
How the water is changed. She sucks the water out via the pipe and when the water is half way she blocks it, puts it into the bucked than takes her finger off to let the water flow into the bucket, The black thing inside the jar automatically measures how much water must flow out so when the right amount is out the water stops flowing out.

She used that to pour fresh water back in
