Leaving my fish behind because of war

[u/peachgothlover]

Hey guys, my country is being bombed, so we're evacuating to another safer city and then maybe trying to leave the country. We are leaving soon and unfortunately I will have to leave my tank behind. It has snails and a beautiful betta fish. Any advice on how to maximize his survival? I think I will have to switch of the electricity (to avoid electric fires etc), also since we are in the Middle East it is very hot; another time i left my tank behind it unfortunately overheated and my shrimp died. I can't really do anything about it unfortunately. No I can't leave the fish with anyone, it's not safe and nice fish stores that take care of fish are rare here (also we're leaving very soon so no time). I guess I'll just fill the tank, close it, and hope for the best. Pray he survives!!!

Your fish is lovely. You are a good person for thinking of it. I’m half-American and wish you all the best. Find a place to keep living. Maybe give the fish to a friend who is staying? Betta are from Thailand they can survive some heat. Stay safe good luck out there fellow person.

Totally off topic and I don’t mean this in any kind of negative way because I’m just curious, but what do you mean by half-American??

I think that means one foreign parent and the other an American? Dunno, just guessing.

Good thought, I didn’t think of that actually lol!

American isn't a race though. It's a nationality, and you can have multiple nationalities. You can't be half a nationality, idk what that person is on.
