I am very disappointed with their care of the bettas. I went in today to get some live plants and I always go over to check out their bettas to see of they are being taken care of. Today they were all in horrible condition. Most of them didn't have enough water in their little prisons to be able to have room for their bodies and fins. And there were a lot of dying bettas.
I had asked the cashier how often they do water changes and check on them and she said TWICE A WEEK! Really? TWICE A WEEK!!!!! They are selling sick/dying bettas to people and they are also giving people bad advice on how to care for them.
THEY ARENT AN EASY PET!!! THEY NEED LOTS OF CARE TO LIVE A LONG, HAPPY LIFE. Yes, they can live in an unfiltered tank but you must do at least 2 50% water changes and one 100% water change a week. BETTAS ARE NOT GOOD PETS FOR KIDS!! And they will live for 5 years if they are cared for properly.
If you want one as a pet, do your research first and don't listen to any of the employees. They don't know how to care for them.
