Lol, back from the store now. I did get the decorations, and looked at bettas. I knew I couldn't get one, but still. I bought a 3 in one pack of fake plants, green tall ones, a heater, a rock decoration that I think is awesome, and tropical fish food. My store didn't have specific betta food, unless I didn't see it, which is most likely the case lol. i haven't bought any gravel yet because there wasn't any there that I liked. (Oh yea, what kind of bottom covering do you recomend? I heard the plastic rocks are ok but some bettas flare at their reflections. I heard gravel is hard to clean?)
I have it set up now, filled the tank with water and such. I placed the rock so that both openings are open and the heater in the corner, obstructed by the two corners of the rock so that the betta can't get to it. I don't think this would be a problem but just for my sake XD.
The poor bettas, I so wanted to take one home right then, but I couldn't. There were many that were practically laying on the bottom, and some that there fins were twisted or bent over itself. There wan't much of a selection either, most were red, which I expected, but there were hardly any blue, which I thought was the most common color. Any way, I think I will try a different store when I go to get him, just to get a bigger selection. There's a tiny pet shop down the block that seems to have better quality fish than the big guys. I never noticed if it has bettas or not.
lol, thanks for listening, keep you posted
