Not one of the petstores I went to! >:( you know how some of the cups have just a little hole that goes down into the cup? And some have those circles you can punch out? Well they were cleaning the ones with the circle, they would just hold it upside-down and pour it out, WITH THE BETTA IN IT! and just put the cup under water in another tank to fill it up. It was horrifying! The whole time the bettas were spinning around and around in the cup. The emploees were saying how if the manager saw them they would get in trouble. I almost said something when my mom appeared and we left. :(

Most if the Bettas seem calm. Thrre hanging in a net fir a few seconds.

... I cant believe that...that is horrible. Although my local Petsmart has a drip system with small boxes in the back for the bettas, and it constantly cycles the water. I cringe inside when I see a dead one covered in ich, or fin rot.

Remeber some get sick on the way tgere and some get sick in the breeders place.

I'm sure some get sick on the way there, but that's why they should pay more attention to them and take care of the sick ones rather than letting them die and sit out on the shelves in a cup so long that the water is dark brown and the fish is molding.
