What the fuck Petsmart!!! * 10
    #22080064 - 08/12/15 06:25 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)






Okay. You caught me. I'm absolutely livid right now. I went into a local Petsmart to pick out a betta fish and asked the person there, "hey which one has been here the longest?". Associate didn't even have to guess or think about this shit. I was handed a very dull-yellow colored betta. "Here. He's been here for a long time because everyone thinks he's ugly." My heart fucking broke, Petsmart. It fucking broke. I took this fishy up to the counter with water so dirty you could barely even see the fucking fish. The associate at the counter was like, "wow that's one ugly fish". What. What if I told you that your face was uglier than my betta? Don't say that shit, man. I bought this little turd monger the same day my beautiful betta passed away. I couldn't bear to be alone in my room again. That other fish came from another local pet store and he was badass as fuck. Fucking fish always wanted to fight my finger man. He passed away still fierce as fuck. Goddamn bladder infection took him too soon man, too soon.

Now back to this new fishy. I bought him and noticed he had a little bit of a black fin. Shit. I looked it up and my little turd monger has fin rot because Petsmart doesn't take care of their fucking fish. I don't know how long he'll last but he has started making bubble nests in this gigantic 10 gallon tank. He's happy as fuck. Now, I love this turd monger, don't get me wrong. What makes me so damn mad is that he had fin rot because they don't take care of their fish. Before you come at me like, "Bruh is he on antibiotics" the answer is yes. I'm not taking this fish back to Petsmart so he can rot more.  Even if he only lives for another week I can say he died in better conditions.

Now this new fish is badass as fuck and lemme tell you why:

1. Fearless. THIS FUCKING FISHY ALLOWS YOU TO PET HIM.
2. He looks like a goddamn sunflower. Everyone says he's ugly but he's A GODDAMN SUN IN THIS TEN GALLON TANK.
3. If I stick a tinier container into the 10 gallon tank, HE JUST SWIMS INTO IT. I carried this fish downstairs. He's fearless. He seemed super excited to go downstairs. Seems like a dog trapped inside a fish's body.

Ayeeee Petsmart employees: please never insult someone's pet. What if I had been a kid? That would have been so shitty.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

I like the way you talk.

My partner and I recently got a bunch of fish at Petsmart, and all of them except for the three neon tetras died. It was really sad, I was just getting used to that tank being so lively and full of cute little fishies. I hope your turd monger makes a speedy recovery from fin rot.  :smile:

Aw fishy is cute!

I remember my first beta. He was a badass motherfucker! Snazzy blue scales, followed your finger, and whenever he wanted food he would start booping the surface like "gimme food ya bitch!" Loved that fish...

Then my ex from yesteryears past got mad at me over something dumb (like I was at work and couldn't hang out with her) so she snuck into my house and tossed poor fishy into the garbage disposal unit on my sink.

I lost a friend and learned to never put my dick in crazy. :sad:

he doesn't look like he has fin rot.  fin rot usually looks like the edge of the fin is melted(not frayed)and the fin will have some white edging(not black).  Betta's are a swamp fish, and are capable of gulping air to breathe in stagnant water.  The water they live in naturally is at least as nasty as old petsmart water.  Bettas are boring as fuck, and have next to no personality.  you should get yourself some kind of south american cichlid.  I had a pair of oscars once that i had trained to breach the water and take pellets from my fingers.  I have some green terrors right now that i raised from fry(the parents laid eggs in my 55 gal) and they absolutely recognize me and go crazy in the evening when i walk up to the tank to feed them.  Cichlids in general, and south american/central american cichlids specifically, have the most personality and intelligence of aquarium fish IMO

Of common aquarium fish, nothing has more personality than a porcupine puffer.  Of less-common aquarium fish, I'd say a giant hawkfish has more personality than all other fish combined.

If you really need a reason to hate petsmart, i have one.

I got a kitten 2 years ago.  My kitten had the shits(as kittens sometimes do) and my GF was worried.  we took the kitten to Banfield pet hospital (inside of Petsmart).  We picked up the kitten 7 hours later.  he was covered in piss and shit, and shivering uncontrollably.  They give us some probiotic bullshit to mix into his food.  2 days later, the kitty is shitting everywhere still, and won't drink water or eat much.  I take the kitten to an actual Vet who tells me that the cat has an upper respiratory infection, and probably has been sick for weeks.  Real Vet gives me some antibiotics, cat gets better rapidly, all is well.  I head back over to Petsmart to ream out the Banfield Vet and get my 230 bucks back.  The Banfield people tell me i'll have to take it up with the head doctor who (of course) is not in at the moment.  The head doctor dodges me for 2 weeks before i go to the Petsmart GM and demand that Petsmart take care of me.  The GM informs me that Petsmart does not guarantee the services of Banfield because even though Banfield operates inside of Petsmart, the two companies are seperate entities.  I tell the GM that i have 4 aquariums and 2 cats, and that if he doesn't take care of me, i'll be making my weekly shopping trips at Petco from now on.  He tells me that he's sorry to hear that, but that he won't be refunding my 230 bucks.

I haven't been to Petsmart since, and i never will.

Petsmart usually takes pretty bad care of their animals. I have bought a parakeet from them, and it wasa in really unhealthy conditions and was sick. I've even seen a dead bird in the cage that was left for at least a few hours :sad:

Plus the larger parrots are always alone, and no one interacts with them. Petsmart sucks, I'd work there just to make it better for the animals.

One of my fish was a tiny little moray eel.  About the size of a number2 pencil.  I used to smear shrimp on my finger and he would nip it off.  My wife did it once.  She has much smaller fingers than I do and he got around it.  She freaked and yanked her hand back and he went flying.  I got him back in the tank no worse for wear but now I can tell people that my wife was attacked by a moray eel in her own house.  His name was Cecil.  He was the only fish we ever named.  In college I had a tiny tank with a betta that my grilfriend named Rael.

One of my first fish was a pleco.  I grew him up from a 1.5 incher to about 18 inches.  I thought that he was big and tough enough to go into a small pond in my backyard.  He wasn't.  The temp swings were too much for him, and he died and turned into goo.  R.I.P Commander Plecotay

I hate it when people provide inadequate care for all animals, but I see it so much with fish. The way people treat bettas is outrageous.  They need at the very least a 2.5 gallon tank, preferably 5 if not larger, and they need a heater and a small filtration unit to be healthy.
People complain they're boring, but they're usually just sick from their living conditions. Gold fish really shouldn't be kept in goldfish bowls either, they really need much much larger setups - especially if there's more than one to thrive, as well as filtration.

People don't bother to learn. And petsmart employees are payed minimum wage and are normally just kids who know the bare minimum and aren't taught enough about proper animal care to provide it or teach others.

On another interesting note, people will release their goldfish in the wild, I've seen them sometimes diving in freshwater, and they mostly thrive there.


...never saw one that big though.

people who release goldfish are assholes.  goldfish are egg eating pricks who drive down the populations of native sportfish.
that is all

Do not buy anything from petsmart, EVER.


They treat all the animals like shit. I was HUGE into the reptile/amphibian hobby (still am to an extent, I have a mating pair of tokay geckos and 8 poison dart frogs) and the NUMBER 1 rule was to NEVER buy a live animal from a pet store. If you want a healthy pet, GO TO A BREEDER. Even if it is a goldfish. The last time I bought fish from petco, I took perfect care of them and out of the 20 or so I originally got for a 100g aquarium, only 2 lived past a year old. For comparison, I replaced most of those fish with ones from a hobbiest in Denver that had a dope ass reef shop off of the interstate and they have been living happily for over 5 years.

ehh, judging by there mouths I wouldn't consider them predators. Most fish want nothing to do with humans, I would say that the only fish I'd actually be wary of would be a goliath grouper. They've been known to be nasty, steal spear fishers catch, but no one's died from them except a 15 year old boy who was WAY too deep at 200 feet and spearfishing while diving, it was a total accident, he speared the grouper something got wrapped around him and he got dragged down and drowned. Otherwise, they usually leave you alone. I've dived with them before and they left me alone completely. There has been several sightings of a great white lurking around wrecks in the florida keys - ones that I've dived before and am going to dive again in about a month, and I'd probably shit my wetsuit if I came across one without a cage, but people do have unplanned encounters and most don't get bothered. The grouper on those wrecks are around 500lbs, but they don't worry me at all, not compared to the 20 foot white shark that's been hanging around.


here's a goliath grouper eating a 4 foot shark whole.







I've heard goldfish are trash fish, so I'm guess they'll eat pretty much anything they can fit in their mouth, but one even that big is not a threat.

Tap water can kill fish. You need to dechlorinate it before hand. Other than that, it is completely safe to fill it up with fresh water as long as you aren't replacing more than 50% of the water.

Oh, yeah. Not ideal, and wouldn't do it under normal circumstances.

Not like I was going around replacing good water with tap water though, the water was either murky or dangerously low when I've done it.

They were certainly dying before I stepped foot in the store, lowbrow's just trollin.

Yeah I don't blame you. They put poor betta fish in those tiny 8 ounce deli cups, wtf


Two species of fish that need large tanks are the 2 most popular "fish bowl" pets, goldfish and bettas. Hell, golfish need at least 1000 gallons to live healthily.


I have a lot of experience with these hobbies and so many people just do it all wrong, and the first mistake most make is buying from a pet store. You gotta remember, do you really think a chain STORE is gonna care about anything but money?


Pets, even fish, cost money. If you can't afford more than a 30 cent golfish and a 5 dollar bowl then maybe the money would best be spent on a burger and soft drink. The chain pet stores specifically target those types of people. They know your fish is gonna die in a week, which is why they're so cheap.



The most simple aquarium you can get that will safely house a fish for the least amount of money is still like 30$.

I think these are actual goldfish, they're more along the lines of what I see in quarries here in the US. I think people actually bring them there and release them.

They don't but they do need at least 2.5 gallons at a bare minimum, filtration(not heavy duty) and some kind of heater.

If they are kept in anything under 5g for a single fish, it will stress the fish out which means less color and a drastically reduced lifespan. Many have kept them in 2.5g but it really isn't big enough, 5g should be a minimum for a single betta. A 5g (well really 5.5, unless it is a "special" tank) isn't even that big, and they are 5$ at petco half the time.

Add some gravel (best choice would be black sand for color and stress reduction), a fake/real plant or two, a heater (most of the time anything under 10g only needs the lighting for heat) and maybe a little piece of wood. They live for a long time and look BEAUTIFUL if kept in those conditions.

How long have you had it/did it live?


The problem with fish bowls is their size. Aside from it being stressful to the fish, their small size creates even more problems. They get dirty extremely fast (since they're small) and generally you cannot put a filter in them, so 2 birds with 1 stone right there.


The heater would be the last thing I'd worry about though. Bettas are still pretty resilient but they need proper heat to thrive and grow properly. Most bettas sold at chain pet stores are still young and will grow a bit more

i've had it (i say "it" cuz i dont know the gender..) for about 1year+, not sure on the exact time, could be longer.

then the last beta fish i had lived up to maybe 2 to 3 years, and only died when it was injured during the cleaning process, was pretty sad about that one..

but yea, they usually seem pretty happy, anytime i take a glance im always left in awe from their beauty, it's as if they put on a show just for u, it's amazing.

i do agree tho small fish bowls suck, but if u care for it enough i dont think it'd really mind..

They don't take very good care of there fish, I had the same problem years ago. To be honest Id call animal control due to the condition they keep these poor fish in.

Okay. You caught me. I'm absolutely livid right now. I went into a local Petsmart to pick out a betta fish and asked the person there, "hey which one has been here the longest?". Associate didn't even have to guess or think about this shit. I was handed a very dull-yellow colored betta. "Here. He's been here for a long time because everyone thinks he's ugly." My heart fucking broke, Petsmart. It fucking broke. I took this fishy up to the counter with water so dirty you could barely even see the fucking fish. The associate at the counter was like, "wow that's one ugly fish". What. What if I told you that your face was uglier than my betta? Don't say that shit, man. I bought this little turd monger the same day my beautiful betta passed away. I couldn't bear to be alone in my room again. That other fish came from another local pet store and he was badass as fuck. Fucking fish always wanted to fight my finger man. He passed away still fierce as fuck. Goddamn bladder infection took him too soon man, too soon.

Now back to this new fishy. I bought him and noticed he had a little bit of a black fin. Shit. I looked it up and my little turd monger has fin rot because Petsmart doesn't take care of their fucking fish. I don't know how long he'll last but he has started making bubble nests in this gigantic 10 gallon tank. He's happy as fuck. Now, I love this turd monger, don't get me wrong. What makes me so damn mad is that he had fin rot because they don't take care of their fish. Before you come at me like, "Bruh is he on antibiotics" the answer is yes. I'm not taking this fish back to Petsmart so he can rot more.  Even if he only lives for another week I can say he died in better conditions.

Now this new fish is badass as fuck and lemme tell you why:

1. Fearless. THIS FUCKING FISHY ALLOWS YOU TO PET HIM.
2. He looks like a goddamn sunflower. Everyone says he's ugly but he's A GODDAMN SUN IN THIS TEN GALLON TANK.
3. If I stick a tinier container into the 10 gallon tank, HE JUST SWIMS INTO IT. I carried this fish downstairs. He's fearless. He seemed super excited to go downstairs. Seems like a dog trapped inside a fish's body.

Ayeeee Petsmart employees: please never insult someone's pet. What if I had been a kid? That would have been so shitty.

If it had the long flowing fins and bright color it was male.  The females are quite drab in comparison and don't have long fins.  Unless they want to breed them almost everybody buys the males.  And you can't have two males in the same tank because they will fight like fuck.  When you get a male and a female they will build a bubble nest that floats on the surface and then do quite a tango fertilizing the eggs.  They wrap around each other.

On another interesting note, people will release their goldfish in the wild, I've seen them sometimes diving in freshwater, and they mostly thrive there.





The fish in the photo's a coy carp. They are just slightly less ugly carp, still just as shit for the waterway and will outcompete must native species. Distant relative of the goldfish, but goldfish don't grow that big if you flush them down the toilet. They are a big problem here in Aus.





Oh, my bad


I think these are actual goldfish, they're more along the lines of what I see in quarries here in the US. I think people actually bring them there and release them.




It's always weirded me out how goldfish get bigger when you put them in a bigger environment. I wonder how that happens

high nitrate levels in a fish bowl stunt their growth, but in a bigger body of running water, nitrates are not an issue

That isn't what I was talking about. 

Betta splendens in nature lives in generally murky water, often with a low oxygen level.  That's why they can gulp air.  They are easy as fuck to take care of.  They are very tolerant and you just change their water.  Make sure to equalize the temps though

Surely they'd benefit from better conditions though.

It's like a plant labelled "drought tolerant" will survive with little to no watering, but it'd benefit and thrive with a little care.

Oh absolutely but they can definitely be kept in small quarters with just some food and regular changes.  It's good to have two in separate quarters and occasionally show them to each other.  It is what they live for
