I have often wondered but forget to ask while I'm at the store.... Why are bettas contained in those cups at the lfs or other places with BLUE water? Is this some type of disease preventative? What exactly is in the water?

To thine own self be true...

I asked the same question. It is medicated water to help the fish deal with the stress of shipment. I see it as a sign of a good lfs because the medicine does cost them money,.
