Shop of dead bettas

[KP0707]

today i went to look for my first betta all so happy and excited i went into a shop full of bettas but they were mostly dead half of em had fin rot and atleast 20 have sbd and you won't even guess the stores name "Pets' PARADISE!!!!"

[Shawtee]

If i came acrosss a store like that id askwether they were treating the tanks and iff not id just start opening all teh treatment stuff and putting it in

[KP0707]

yeah i would too, the lady working there also came up to me and ask me if i wanted to buy any and i thought "can't you see there all sick' and she just shakes the tanks right in front of the lamp so they would move but they didnt

im still pretty young so i don't know how to rescue betta's but i wish i could have

[bmwguy]

UGH i hate people who don't take care of that stuff. it makes me angry to think that they can just open a store to make profit while the lives of many fishes struggle to survive to the next day. it's already bad enough that some customers come in and harass the fishes in the first place, at least the owner/employees should make up for it. i know b/c i've worked at a pet store. ugh

[KP0707]

they also had guppies and testras and loaches and they were all properly cared for you even see the employees feeding them

That's disgusting! I would've told them off. The fact that the other fish were well cared for just exemplifies the point that people view bettas as just disposable pets...they probably didn't even notice that anything was wrong and just thought that they were supposed to look like that >:(

[Romad]

Write to the store manager and tell them to rename the store "Pet's Hell" until they figure out how to care for their fish.

Makes me sooooooo mad!

Is the store a franchise or is it independent? If it was a franchise I'd say write the head of the company about it.

its a franchise they have like 4 of em in one mall but there all taken care of, its just this place which is horrible
