Ok so today I was at Walmart. And they had so many amazing fish. Even CTs (Btw I found Merlins twin but I didn't get him :/). Anyway they were all healthy and the cups were bigger and cleaner. One female had a bacterial infection on her stomach. So I told the person who works with the fish and he took her out of the cup and put her in a different cup and did a salt bath on her then he returned her to her original cup and added some watered down MelaFix.
I think I did it!! I made this Walmart a safe place for bettas!!
yeah I think it just depends on how lazy/overworked the employee feels. No doubt they have them read info on how to do these things but most of them don't bother.
Well it's the same employee all the time. He used to argue with me but now he agrees with me
He also said that they keep getting bad shipments. Their fish are sick from day one. Like once I saw them place goldfish in the tanks and then once they colored up they ALREADY had ich.
Definitely better than what I saw at my Walmart this week. 20 Bettas, all dying in their cups. A few had Dropsy, nearly all of them had fin rot, and a couple appeared to have Ick.
It's sad really... because before now, my Walmart has done an okay job with the Betta fish. If I had the money for the medicines right now, I would have brought a few of them home. D;
I'm actually in the process of writing a complaint about that.
thats awesome! maybe he finally caught the betta bug too. it is highly contagious after all, haha.
