I adopted a pigeon from someone in the area who had a loft that they gave up on, and I have to say, I'm glad I adopted her when I did. She's a total mess and I honestly just need to vent. I get that they all get sick, but she was never seen by a vet ever and she now has special needs and due to...

I didn't know where else to post this, but I saw something on Pinterest that made me livid. I mean honestly Petco, really? I thought you were getting better. I was so wrong.

Ugh!! It might be more of an issue for me than others in my city due to having to use transit. There are two speciality Fish shops in Calgary Pisces Pet Empourium, and Big Al's Pets. The only problem is I live in the SW, and both shops are an hour tranist ride in the NE! There are a couple...

There are two petco's near my apartment. One is horrible at keeping their fish and one isn't bad. I went to the one that isn't bad today to pick up a few things and I looked at their bettas and my heart broke. More than half had Swim Bladder problems - some minor and some very severe. All of...

Here is my little rant on people who claim to "rescue" betta fish from a "stores disgusting conditions": Since joining this forum I have seen many posts from fish-lovers who are claiming to have "rescued" a fish from Walmart or some petstore. By purchasing a betta fish from a place where they...

What are some silly things you've heard about bettas. So this counts as a community rant thread. For me it's these things 1 on the petsmart website they said male bettas only need one gallon and... get this: female bettas need 1 liter. Really? I'd like them to be in bigger containers. 2. The...

I think that I lost 5 Neon tetras!!!:shock: This kind of sucks considering that I just got many of them last month!:-( I was going to move them in with my girl Kitty (betta), and I could only find 2... I didn't think much on this considering that the LOVE to hide8-), so I reomved the...

So my whole experience with keeping my betta thus far feels like a completely failed attempt. I got my boy, Ryu, from petsmart with a friend as a spur of the moment buy. I bought everything he'd need, the basics atleast, brought him home, set up his temporary .5g tank (i already had plans to...

sorry 'bout this, folks. i gotta make a rant here. i usually try to avoid this, and keep it on my Facebook, but i can't hold it in any longer, and gotta rant somewhere that doesn't have a limit to how long things can be. what's with people thinking, they can house male bettas together, or...

I haven't been on in a while but I needed to tell you about this guy I got into it with about his bettas. He is keeping his 14 bettas in 1 quart bowls 2 to a bowl! And he was only feeding his bettas twice a week freeze dried blood worms! And he would take the dividers out of the tank so the two...
