well the new petco opened today, and with a pals card all bettas were .99 (up to four) well anyway i ended up getting 2 steel blue veils, 1 pastel, and 1 red veil. anyway, i was shopping and then i saw this nice solid yellow male in the corner of my eye, but then this lady grabbed him up for her daughter and then they got a betta kit. so u can guess that i was very up-set]:| but what really got me was this lady took another betta, but she only got one betta set-up, one can only tell what is going to happen.

So sorry you weren't quick enough to grab that yellow male. Maybe she has another empty betta set up at home? I really hate to think of her putting two bettas in one set up in front of her daughter.

* scratches EVIL woman]* i hate people like that well, i guess all we can say is RIP little yellow male

As pugperson said, it's quite possible there is another set up waiting at home for the second betta. I rather think it's unfair to call the woman "evil" if you don't know the circumstances, fishyhelper.

Personally, I've done the same... I've bought two bettas and only one tank because I had a spare at home. Or on another betta liberation escapade , brought home bettas with the intention of giving one to my sister, who had a setup. It's simply unfair to judge when you don't know what's going on.

I do feel for you, chris... I was lucky enough to snatch up my yellow betta because he was hiding behind all the others and looked quite drab in that silly little cup he was in!

I'm sorry Chris...

I know what you mean kitten I sit at walmart and dig into the back, top and bottom to see what is thereone of these days I might even get lucky enough to find another Lucky, who knowsI also check their "death row" for anything interesting, though next time, I'm gonna ask if I can get a discount or since it's so "sickly" can I just have it We all know what a water change can do to the appearance of a bettaand for the most part the folks that work there don'theidi michelle
