Question

I have many questions for my hw

Here are all the facts:
A girl, lets call her Grace, is wondering which pet she should get. she has owned a betta fish before, and has done a lot of research for hermit crabs. But here are some things she doesn't know:

1. Which one is easier to care for? Betta fish or hermit crab
2. Will a hermit crab be ok in a five 1/2 gallon tank?
3. Is it ok if she just gets one hermit crab or should she get multiple?
4. And ultimately, which one should she get, hermit crab or betta fish?

The last one is the most important. Thanks!

Answer 1

1. Betta Fish

2. Yes. Choose a terrarium that has at least 5 gallons of space per 2 crabs.

3. They require companionship! Hermit crabs, despite their name, are social creatures that thrive best in groups of two or more.

4. Both are entertaining, but I prefer betta. Hermit crabs, in my experience, are extremely sensitive and difficult to keep alive. Hermit crabs proved to be much more difficult than I anticipated, but bettas are a little more straightforward. That is just my opinion; I am sure you will do fantastic with whatever you choose.

I hope this helps you
