This is probably a stupid question but when you take fish back how do you transport them? I could pop into a shop on the way into work and get a fish bag but was wondering if there was anything else we could use

Any food-safe plastic bag will do, but choose a strong one. Double up if you are worried it might leak. Fill it one third water, two thirds air. If you can't manage to knot the top of the bag, twist it round, fold it over and wind an elastic band round.

A friend of mine who always used to work at the service is popping in to take the fish back and the service user to pick out a betta thankfully.  I trust her to help him pick a betta this time!! Though I discovered what everyone means by platties being poop machines!!

Well I thought I would update on this!

The platties have gone back to the shop and the tenant is now the proud owner of a beautiful red betta! I also had a great experience at the shop when I told him the tank size he was horrified about the platies and really seemed to know what he was talking about!

I got a little picture of him... I'm so jealous! I really want one now they are such lovely fish!

hehe believe me I will keep trying!

The service user in question seems happy with the fish and I think he's a lovely very curious Betta! Whilst the platies were in the tank all readings remained good so hopefully no problems there!

Well I  thought I  would update.. Unfortunately  the betta  died last week.  No idea what went wrong as he had no symptoms and appeared in good health the day before.  Nothing wrong with tank or water either.  The tenant now has a new beautiful blue betta so hopefully the other little guy was just old!
