SEVERE fin damage....will it ever grow back normal? *PIC*

Ask to see the manager. Explain the situation. Alot times they will knock some money off. I did that with a Crested Gecko that was missing a tail. The manager took 20% off even though a Crested is not y missing a tail.

I wish my petco gave disounts on injured fish..I always end up having to buy my fish sick and full price ...

I had no idea they could regrow fins damaged to that extent...

Why couldn't he be blue? Red is sooooo going to clash with my daughter's God-awful pink rocks/pink and purple decorations that she insists on....LOL

Why should you be lucky enough to have self-control when the rest of us don't? If you're lucky, maybe he'll change colors on you, perhaps a dark purple-red? Poor guy, I just can't believe Petco. But sadly, the bettas in a lot of our LFS around here are in just as bad of condition. Only Aqua Workz on Belvedere off of Power Inn keep their fish in great condition and they don't even have bettas.

And don't a lot of reptiles grow their tails back anyway? And . . . wait, are you saying you tricked the pet store?

I sure hope so. Wasn't me, though. Now you can look for one that goes with those decorations.

Hehe, there's a bright side to every situation. Why, you could get a pink and a purple one, if you're really lucky. A pink body and purple fins.

Let me clarify, I'm not against tricking pet stores at all. Bwahahahah!
