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.
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.
I feel so bad for Beta fish. Their natural environment is nothing like a small plastic container or small fish bowl. I mean, no fish's natural environment is...but still
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 ?
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.
