New double tail!

[otter]

I just got a new double tail for my mom and he is so cute I want him!
Ugh well I just set up his tank and he really likes hiding behind the filter, and when I first got him, he was curling up in the corners of the tank, but today he became really social!




He has the cutest blue in his eyes and hes super fluffy!!



I don't want him to live in my mom's office!!!

Man, is he cute! I can see why you don't want to hand him over.

He is such a cute little guy! Whats his name going to be?

[otter]

Congrats to you and your mom!

I kid you nt I saw one just like that today and was thinking of getting it for my mom.

But if you see my thread it wasn't the best time to buy bettas at that particular Petco.

Oh my god I went to pet smart and They where taking terrible care of their betta. Vine of them had a gill infection and he was a marbled blue green and white doubler tail.. He looked like one of those super pretty ones on aquabid and I felt so bad but I didn't know what to do ugh and all of the other ones looked half dead it was so sad :(. And also I asked this guy if the plant I was about to get needed lots of light or if it could survive in low light and he's like. Uhhh I think... That ALL plants need light. Idk people don't really take very good care of their fish at most pet stores that I've been too. I think it's cause fish aren't soft and you can't take them on walks or pet them. :,(

Oh no! That sounds awful!

My local PetSmart is pretty good with their fish including their fish!

[otter]

Thats good, for some reason they hire people who know nothing about fish so if I have any questions they don't know what im talking about :( I think thats why they dont take very good care of the the betta because the employees don't know anything about them
