Just to expand on the education of the kids idea. I mentioned this in another thread but it seems appropriate here. Do an educational blitz of schools. You may or may not liase with SPCA. But do liase with the teachers. Have the kids set up a fishtank PROPERLY for a science project and observe the ammonia and nitrites and the effect the plants have and monitor oxygen levels in the water etc. Use bettas in a vase or bowl as your example of how NOT to do it.
If you stock it with platies or guppies you can even extend it to sex education!
