Hi! I live in California and the PetSmart near me always has DT, Dragons Scales, CT, VT and HM and hyrbids. I got a blue marble HMPK and a silver HMDT from PetSmart They take really good care of them too. Full cups with clean water & they're always active. Your girl is really cute. Good find tho, CT are usually cheaper than DT. =)
I don't see as many as the males, just a hand full here and there. But ive never owned a female yet, so I've never bought one... well until today, saw a tiny baby (too tiny to be in the store) that was labeled "female betta", i couldn't just leave there. So we'll see how it goes and see if she is really a she.
The PetSmart by me label correctly, most of the time, besides their Dragons, seems alot of uneducated people label Plakats as dragons. That's how i got Wee Baby Seamus. The one and only time Ive been to one of the petcos near me, the fish were in terrible conditions, dead and almost all are were mislabeled. I brought it to an employees attention, he just ill have someone check it out. Havnt been back. It also depends on who works at certain locations. Some people care more about animals than others, sadly. But I am today just to check on the bettas =) Hoping to bring home a 7th today!!! yay!!
Well i went to the other petco near me today. they had a huge variety, majority of them labeled correctly. But, half the cups were filthy, black & brown bottoms, decaying fish & lots of dead baby bettas too. So I ended up getting a baby DT for only $2, my first purchase from this store. Their prices are insane too, but gravel was cheaper than Petsmart! I told the cashier about the filth, told her id buy this baby so it didnt die too. She told me her fish person got in an accident a week ago, so no ones been here to care for them?? What! I cant believe no one else there could change the water. But again, some people care more about the job their doing then others. Just had to post that. I would go back when i have the $ to get some EEs or kings since petsmart has yet to have these breeds. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading.
I never see dt females at pet store hoping my dt petco baby is female so far has a egg spot but the case of the false egg spot has happened t me before
