I set up my children a 5 gal beta tank, My sister gave me the tank so I'm guessing could be anywhere from a 4 to 7.5 gal. I used some gravel and fake plants out of my main tank and got it cycled. I was at petsmart and got a beta in one of the horrible little cups with the blue water. The water had alot of fecees in it so I planed to drain of some of the water and leave the solid and most of the water behind.
Problem was he didn't like the ideal and jump out and into the sink down the drain. Thankfully it was a kitchen sink (came out of my inlaws kitchen). so it didn't make down to the trap. I had to take the plumbing a part and flush it into a plastic cup. guessed it would die from the soaps and residue, but the little guy is still alive health after a week. so far so good.

I believe we all have experienced this, usually i come along and find fish jerky sometime later and scrape it up with a spatula. Im really glad this one worked out its hard to explain to a child that the new fishy just went sewer diving.
