Summary

A Reddit user shared a story about a wedding where the centerpieces featured live betta fish, and the plan was to flush them down the toilet alive after the reception. A coworker of the Reddit user took the fish home and adopted them. Experts say flushing fish is a bad idea, as it can harm the ecosystem and introduce diseases into the water supply. Instead, options include contacting a local pet shop, finding a fish club, or donating to a school or nursing home with an aquarium.
