Hi guys,
I've just started cycling my 10 gallon tank so in a few weeks I'll be choosing a new betta from our local Petsmart. I've been in there several times and have never seen a single dead/sluggish fish in the entire aquarium section nor any sick looking animals among the rest of the store. I've often seen staff cleaning the tanks which always look crystal clear. In short, I'm confident that purchasing from there will not end in tears.
However, I have no idea how to tell a sick betta from a healthy one. Sure I've never seen them dead or not moving at all but how would I tell if it was unhealthy? Also, how would I tell if that blue water they're kept in is clean or not?
Thanks in advance! I want to make sure I choose as healthy a fish as possible when the time comes.
