One stop betta spot
Welcome to Bettas In a Nutshell. As you are looking at all those cups you see a betta that holds your attention. Next thing you know the sales person is telling you how they can live in a small bowl and eat a couple times a week. A few days later you find yourself on the internet looking for help with your new betta. You have come to the right place!
Another scenario is you walk into a store that sells bettas. Glancing at all the cups you quickly realize you see a dead fish and some others that are sick. The water is filthy. This unfortunately happens in a lot of stores all over the states. Bettas have become a disposable fish choice.

Unfortunately this is an all to common occurrence. The #1 place I used to see this was at Walmart. If you come upon a store treating there bettas like this please snap a picture and then look for the contact info on that stores website page and let them know what is happening. Dead bettas should not be seen in any stores if they are caring for them correctly. If you have different stores in your area with this problem please contact me with the info and I will add it to this list.
