Pet Store Gives Celebrity Names To Their Fishes And They Are Hilariously Accurate
Working at a pet store might seem like the most relaxing job ever - you get to hug puppies, talk with parrots, feed fluffy bunnies and watch aquarium fishes all day long. We all know that this is not entirely true, and even pet store employees might get bored from all the animal friendships from time time. Now, what happens when you are bored at work? Oh, but your creativity spikes and you can come up with some ingenious jokes as good as these funny names for animals spotted in some aquarium fish store.

I have a betta named Warren Betta. I've also got Snoop Froggy Frog. I'm so amused at these.

Adding humor to what is a very cruel practice. Bettas need room to swim, places to hide, and good quality water, none of which they get in those little plastic cups. None of the fish in any of the photos look happy or especially healthy. Stores continue this abusive practice because it is convenient.
I have never seen any pets stores that have passable conditions for any of the animals. All the rodents have far to little space, bad wheels, bad food, litter that can give them respiratory infections, and no stimulation. The (very social) birds are often kept alone in a small cage with a few chew toys that they don't really care about because they are miserable. None of the animals get let out to play like they need to be. The fish often have dead fish floating at the top. They just don't care at all. I hate pet stores so much and always just want to take all the animals home with me so I can spoil them.
Load More Replies...Absolutely sick. There is nothing hilarious about this submission.
Load More Replies...Yeah.....no. This is a fail. The names might be clever but how the hell are they supposed to be "hilariously accurate"? Some of the fish aren't even THERE.
Yeah, they're cute names, but they have nothing to do with the fish themselves. BP is on a run of clickbait titles again is all.

I'm not trying to defend people keeping betta's in tiny containers (because I know they love their space). We used to have crown tails, then only bettas with shorter tails because they usually seem in better shape, and now we have wine red bettas (Betta coccina's). You know in the wild they (are able to) survive in TINY, hot amounts of water during the dry season? That's why they have this labyrinth organ to breathe some air above water. That doesn't mean they'll be happy under those circumstances though, so yeah, you shouldn't keep them like this... Just wanted to say something about they natural environment, because sometimes, a tiny amount of water IS their natural environment. Just not all year long :P
Load More Replies...This isn't funny or cute, pet stores are abhorrent places and should be outlawed. How about spending less time coming up with stupid names and more time giving some consideration to these living beings.
I couldn't even read this post after the first picture betta abuse needs to stop this is disgusting why can't they be in large filrered containers big als has it good for there expensive betas only. I love my beta fish and i got him like this too. Makes me sick
Please don't keep betta fish in those tiny little cups. Waste and uneaten food breaks down in them over time, releasing ammonia, which is poisonous to bettas. Plus, it's just cruel, keeping them in such a tiny container for a good chunk of their lives.
why are they in those awful containers ? Is this common practice or is it an illegal petshop ?
Common practice. They'll kill eachother if kept together but doesn't mean that they can't have little seperate tanks with a filter. My fish store gets it sort of. $15+ ones get that buy $10 or less gets this kind of treatment
Load More Replies...As an ex fishkeeper I can appreciate the requirement to keep healthy valuable fish in isolation or quarantine for reasonably short periods to prevent cross-infection from 1 unhealthy one - fungus, parasites etc - or even attacks from other fish.Then any medication required can be easily administered, ie in the water or food (you can get antibiotic fish food) and their individual food intake monitored. They can very easily tell which fish is which. Plus their health condition can be very clearly monitored and there isnt the stress on the fish of being caught so so a buyer can confirm it's health and appearance from all angles. Provided the water conditions are perfect - and these look pretty good - the fish will come to no harm from a few days of solitary. The stress of being regularly netted for examination is worse for them. It looks as if the seller/dealer is doing everything neccessary to temporarily maintain the health of these fish and can guaratee it to the buyer. They are not keeping them in these conditions long term.
Yes wrong use of the word fishes is for multiple species fish is multiple of same species
