Someone Refrain me from Pet Stores

[IRescue452]

We must have gone to the same pet store, because I wanted to sock one to the worker helping me as well. She told me female bettas can't be together and that the more color pigment they have= the more aggressive they are. I just about told her to put them back I'd take my money elsewhere, but petsmart is the only store in Sheboygan with females.

He sure is a beauty! Aurora is a pretty name, too! Good for you and shame on that worker.

Add me to the list of people with bad pet store experiences. I was working with the fish at a pet store once. This store also had the widest variety of feeshies. One woman came in wanting a male betta and I pointed out a few crowntail males and she called them all horribly ugly, etc. Luckily for one particular fish, he is now in a tank at one of my friends houses.

Yay, that is good that one of them is with your friend now
Yes, I find alot of petstores need better workers...if the hired alot of us from PetTalk on, they would have good quality pet store workers

She said he was ugly? Oh my gosh. What an idiot. He's one of the prettiest bettas I've seen . I'm glad you got him out of that awful store.

Wtfudge,

How could she say such a perdy fish is ugly, well she needs a smack in her noggy!

Anyway great photos and congratz on the new baby!

It also looks like he MIGHT change colours as he gets older, just a geuss. =)

[Kalei]

Yeah that's what I thought, I hope he doesn't change colors because he's so pretty right now, but if he does it will be interesting to see what color he changes too.

And I think he loves his new home cause this morning I woke up and he has his own little bubble nest made in a corner lol.

Kalei you new fish is so pretty. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. I remember when Alicia and I went to the shelter and we were looking for a cat to adopt. There was this orange Persian. Her face was so smashed in looking and her tongue was sticking out. I picked her up and just couldn't get over that face, it looked so strange to me, poor kitty was purring and oh so sweet. But that face, all bug eyed and smashed nose. We did not find a cat that day but went back a week later and got Jake, I asked about the Persian and the girl told me that someone came in and just fell in love with her face. Thank goodness that we humans see beauty differently, so that all pets are beautiful to someone. I have always thought that God made Rhea Pearlman just for Danny Divito.

Wow, you are very right. If people didn't have different tastes or interests in what an animal looks like, then many animals out there wouldn't get a home. I"m so glad that everyone sees animals differently lol and just since you mentioned a smashed in faced Persian, lol i also think they have the cutest faces in the world!

I'd like to own one someday!
