1. BE NICE.	We're all humans with real human feelings. (Most of us.)
2. No spam or advertisements.	We're sure your YouTube channel is very nice, but this isn't the place to advertise it. Also, posting the same question more than once in a day will upset the mods. You don't want to do that.
3. No posts or comments praising or advertising betta fighting.	Seriously, do we need to tell you why?
4. We need your parameters if we're going to help diagnose.	If you have a question or problem, please add a CLEAR picture and some details (tanksize, equipment, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels etc.). "Everything is fine" is not a tank parameter!
5. Do not post pictures of empty bowls/crappy habitats.	We know they suck, everyone here knows they suck. We've all walked past them at some point.
6. Do not publicly shame another fish owner for how they're keeping their fish.	Educate, don't berate. Every person that's educated on proper betta care had to start somewhere- why not refer them to our caresheet? Everyone here knows, or will know, how to properly care for a betta- foaming at the mouth over every little injustice will give us, /r/bettafish, a bad name. We are a community of support and pretty fish, not an echo chamber.
7. Proper use of the Rant flair	The Rant flair should be used for venting out your own fish keeping frustrations, or bemoaning an idiot fish- not an ignorant human's mistakes.
8. Don't post irrelevant stuff, ok?	If it doesn't involve a betta fish, it doesn't belong.
