Male bettas crowded in a plastic cup at Walmart

[friendttyy]

Well i am a former fish breeder. Was succesful with guppies, blue gouramis and gold fish (challenging). I have never seen anyone stupid enought to put two male bettas together. I have attempted in breeding bettas but the only first and only female was killed a few hours of introducing them. My point: the walmarts is stupid

Every single betta I have owned, (aside from my childhood ones ) were rescues from this sort of situation. It's quite disheartening and sad to see.

Sorry to jack this thread, but As a teenager, I apologize for how stupid my peers are. I have heard some pretty depressing things come out of other kids mouths in regards to animals. Most are just the uninformed information they're parroting from somewhere, but others are downright infuriating. I have had many a people come up to me after finding out I had spiders, just to say they'll crush them if they see them. No other reason to say anything to me. That's it.
And then others have said things "they're just stupid fish" in regards to Bettas. "Who cares about them? It's just a dumb fish that doesn't know any better. It'll forget its in a cup in three seconds because of their memory."

I get those comments a lot. I am called the tman. And get a lot of laughs till i took my mexican red rump and some other relaxed ones to school. But i still get comments about me breeding fish.

Here is a slide show I made of a baby female Betta from Petco I bought that was dying from starvation and illness. I did not keep it in a bowl but a heated aquarium
with a proper diet. This is what happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxkTyQAG5lU&sns=em

Don't know if anyone even saw this, but watch it, it's got a surprising twist to it!

A very nice video, it's disheartening to see even small animals being kept like that. I'm not saying it was a prank, it could've been an honest mistake and it happens. It just surprised me that even after pointing it out, no action was taken. They're doing well now though, I made their own two separate setups and have much more space. xD

Next time you see 2 bettas in 1 cup go to the manager and tell them holding animal fights is illegal and see how they react.
