Betta "bowls"??? what the?

They also need to know how long is the DRY season in the TROPICS.
 
does anyone know how bettas are shipped to stores? They are shipped in little plastic baggies like the size of your thumb half-filled with color water its really depressing. They ship them w/ cup and all usually around 30+ bettas in a small box the size of a book.
 
This one pet store had bettas in tiny half filled wine glasses. I was so disgusted by the whole thing. The whole fish section was disgusting and the employee kept following me around the whole time while I looked at the tanks. I think she was afraid I would take pictures or something or at least knew I wasn't impressed.
 
Sad isn't it, at least we were able to rescue 1 beta, and he is very happy in his 29 gal.......:)
 
also at petsmart i saw they were advertising to put bettas in a large martini glass...i couldnt look at it and i was trying to get my husband out of the store before he made a seen...thats why i hate going to petsmart...:headshake2:

I saw those
 
Oh yeah? There were these THINGS (3xTall 2xWide + Long) in WALMART for bettas, with a fake plant sticking out. The "PERFECT" betta "home". You could also buy one taht looked like 2 glued together for triple the price and put a dark slide in between, for "FLARING"
