I have a pet now
I was taken by surprise when I got to work and found on my table a plant in a vase with my first pet fish! It’s not from a secret admirer it’s from my co-worker. I’ve been wanting a plant for ages and my co-worker knew that. So she thought of surprising me with one. But the fish is another story. I don’t like pets, I’m stuck with one now! It’s called a fighter fish. It’s red, it has long fins and she’s one scared fish. She swims away from my finger if I touch the vase. Though it’s really cute, how can I take care for it during the weekends when I’m at home? Doesn’t it need filtered water? I’m worried it might die?
Update: uploaded the pic.

walla ive seen these vases before it is considered abuse thats for sure.. what i usually do when i recieve those is i remove the fish from the vase as fast as i can and put it with the other fish in our pond and they usually live and have tiny babies! the kids love them they bring soo much life to the place..

I wish I could do sth for it, the thing is I don’t have a fish tank at home because I don’t enjoy keeping pets of any sort at home. my only option is giving it away to someone who can take care of it

If it is in with a plant, my understanding is that they feed off the plant and dont need additional food. They can last a long time so long as the water is clean and the chlorine tablets are put in. Not sure how strong the lead is there, but its bad in the USA.

giggles, are you sure she can live on the plant, because she seems to be hungry when I feed her? My co-worker told me fish forget things after 45 secs, so she’ll probably feed even when she’s not hungry.
