    I know I hate people who have no brains or respect for fish.Fish are living things they are pets.Some people i think don't think of them as pets.
    I am lucky my walmart doesn't sell fish.

    Poor bettas. No store should be allowed to sell bettas unless they are in the proper enviorment. They really should do something about this!

    Poor bettas... our wal-mart doesn't sell any fish, and I'm glad! I agree that you should take some action to try to help the poor little guys.
    I'm happy with our Petco, they've almost doubled the size of the cup that the bettas are in.

    I guess I'll have to put together a complaint. I'm gonna add in there that they shouldn't dye the water either. If anything that's a legitimate complaint as customers can't see the fish properly.

    It's an additive that contains methylene blue, possibly among other things. Methylene blue is an antifungal and antiparasitic med. Jungle Bag Buddies are good to add to the water when shipping fish and they turn the water blue, so I'm pretty sure they contain it. Anyway, it's definitely good for the fish, so be glad it's there smile.gif. It either means the suppliers care enough to prevent a problem, or there was a problem and they care enough to medicate it.

    I did a search on the blue water and I remember hearing that it was something like that before. So don't complain to Walmart about the blue water, supposedly it is a good thing!

    I'm not so sure about our walmart, they've got blue, green, and red water. I complained online so now I'll wait for feedback and see if I need to take it further.
