Answers:

As long as she understands NOT to put it in witht other fish! Betas are agressive towards other fish and will kill them.

A goldfish might be easier to care for, and won't fight other fish if she decided that she rally likes them. Be sure and check with the parents before giving live animals as a gift.

I think a low maintenance fish is a great idea for a gift for a girl this age. Bowl, goldfish (or beta) fish food, and a book on how to care for them would be good. Another idea would be a small water turtle with set up and book and turtle bowl. They are a little more fun than fish because they can at least be picked up, but are still easier to care for than a mammal like ahamster or such!

yeah its a good gift, that kind of fish doesnt need a lot of responsibility

What a cool idea!! I would think that she would love the idea. They have such beautiful betas to choose from and you can always get a beta container the same color as the fish. Have fun shopping.

fishes get boring an animal wit spunk will make a 12 yr old happy

it really depends on the girls personality , but yeah i think a Betta would be good. It would teach her responsibility. Cuz she would have to feed it regularly and stuff.

That sounds like a great gift for a 12 year old. My daughter is 11 & she loves hers!
