I love my pets an other animals an this is wrong but you went to far with the dead fish burying them is to far lol I feed my dead fish to my cichlid tank or flush them if they died from illness so mu other don't get infected sorry that's insane burying a fish lol 😂 now your dog or cat I can see ,I MEEN THER DEAD MAN THER NOT FEELING ANYTHING OR AWARE OF ANYTHING THINK THEY CARE WERE THER DEAD CORPSE GO COM E ON THATS LIL TO OBSESSED WITH ANIMALS YOU PROBABLY ONE THOSE ATHEIST THAT BELIEVE MOTHER NATURE IS GOD LOL WHEN JESUS CHRIST IS GOD YOU PPL EVEN PUT ANIMALS BEFORE HUMANS THATS INSANE IDIOTCY
While Im all for helping these fish, am I really the only one suspicious of the ziplock bags?!? That's not the type of bags used to transport fish anywhere professionally....also, the water is tinted blue...several stress relieving water treatments, ick treatment, parasite treatments dye the water blue. And...that water is VERY clean for neglected, trashed fish...
I thought the same thing. I have never seen them in this size baggie. They are usually in like a 2 ounce baggie that is clear. These actually had blue water in them, but it was not that blue. It was odd, for sure
Thanks for doing this bro, I have a betta fish myself and it just hurts me so much that these pet stores throw these beautiful fish out like they never existed.
I'm glad someone cares🙂I don't like shopping at pet stores that sell pets because of their inadequate care to many kinds of animals. Fish being #1...thanks for what you do!
Those fish are lucky to be in huge bags like that usually they come in super small bags with enough water to keep them moist youre a cool dude thank you !
Definitely not from a petco or petsmart they get their betta shipments in small sealed individual bags and would never throw out live animals they would treat sick fish and animals all go to the vet, has to be a smaller store, or the guy lied
Having worked in big pet store chains the way we receive them is sad but it varies on who receives them and keeps them our store always treated bettas amazingly but other stores not so much.
@@radgreen2373 he put it in the pic for the video like he was the one doing it, either way this whole video is bullshit imo sad thing is guy seems to have the personality to make good videos without the scam videos and if I am wrong I apologize but it seems like a decent portion of viewers thing the same thing now that I have read more comments
I love how passionate you are! I'd normally argue that heaters are important for tropical fish but I know what it's like to have warm water come out of the cold water tap lol.
I never knew the irresponsibility that a pet store could do I never believed in betta fish being sold at the dollar store which I have seen but I posted your video on my Facebook so I can bring the attention that this needs to people thank you for making this video thank you for helping those poor fish betta fish are absolutely so gorgeous I had went a while back and I just loved him to death he was such a good fish and he was very much spoiled by me which all animals should be spoiled by there owners LOL of course thank you again for being so kind and bringing this disgusting practice to light
I rescued my betta levi merca bubbles from the dumpster and he is thriving now. he was super tiny and thin when I got him he is now grown to full size and is a great fish. also he loves me he will eat out of my hand and if I put my hand in his tank he will swim over and curl up in the palm of my hand. I've had him about a year now
unless you are receiving money from these pet stores, you need to absolutely say the names of those pet stores so people can adequately vote with their dollar!!! be confident, stand up and talk about what you believe in!
I think you should name the store. At least then we may be able to make enough noise so that they order less like you said. Pet stores doing this type of stuff makes me furiouis
Poor little bettas.....this broke my heart. We had our betta fish for 2 years and he was loved. We always left a light on, because he was afraid of the dark. We had a fish sitter if we weren't going to be home for a couple of days. He loved to curl up and nap in his green glass frog. He would wiggle when I passed by his bowl, because he knew I fed him....he would literally wait until I pushed the flakes down so they floated down TO HIM. That sweet little fish is buried in our yard.
So legit yes they do get them in like that. I have seen it first hand, did they come from PetSmart or Petco?? However! I have never ever seen them come in ziplock bags. Always sealed plastic and in bag with water that hardly covers them.
I absolutely love my betta fish, he's an elephant ear variant, and he is so adorable. I've had him for about three weeks I want to say, and he already recognizes me, the moment he sees me he swims to the front of the tank very happily when he doesnt do that with the rest of my family. He has also made two bubble nests so far. His coloring is very pretty too, he's like a light mauve color. Kinda hard to explain since it's a mix between light pink and light purple. We have had betta fish before when I was younger, and admittedly we didnt know how to take care of them. But we know a lot better know, they're like little fish puppies.
I'm from Vacaville California and me and my friends used to go dumpster diving on a weekly basis behind our Petco and we would save mice fish and other animals that are the pet stores would throw away if they were sick they would just throw them away we would get like 20 fish every time
This fish must have come from a local breeder. That’s why they weren’t in cups. It also doesn’t look like they were in the bags for very long seeing as how clear they were.
i literally work in a pet store and this isn’t how we get them.. the bags we get then in deflate after like 1 day after we get them. this vid is super staged
Must've been Petco. I used to work their and they threw alot more than just Bettas in the trash dead or alive. I've saw them toss whole lizards and ball pythons and have rescued them myself
Before bashing a company you might want to think. If you knew pet/fish stores you'd know that was a shipment bag that stores get their fish in. Bettas have to be kept separate so they come in little zip lock bags. The blue tint is anti stress chemical that suppliers put in bags of fish when shipping. Chances are the fish were mixed in with trash & someone took the trash out not knowing the fish were mixed in. Or they were piling up the empty shipment bags, thought they were all empty, & threw them away. I highly doubt especially a "big box pet store" would throw away a bag full of bettas. Bettas aren't really cheap.
This is not from a petsmart we receive our betas in a cooler box all in individual cups. I’ve received over a hundred fish shipments and The bettas ALWAYS come in cups with the blue water.
Found your channel from the first Betta rescue you did. So cool to see you doing it again. These little guys are definitely lucky that they are in your care. It makes me so mad that people would do this to the poor fish
I work for a pet store and yea.... we get our bettas' in small bags. But not zip lock bags. There is no way those fish were shipped in those bags, The bags to ship bettas' in have structure to them. They actually can stand straight up while sitting on the counter. This provides a big air pocket for betta fish and keeps an area for the fish to swim in. Someone placed those fish in the ziplocks after they arrived to the store. No store manager would allow $100-$200 dollars worth of bettas' to just be tossed out.
Can't believe people are doing this. They don't care about animal welfare. It's all about their money. Great job man! You make the world a little more beautifull! Keep up the great work!
Videos like these are always heartwarming, but I am always sad thinking about all the other numerous fish that are in this condition and aren't saved :(
I have seen videos of petco and petsmart throwing away live animals alot! I saw somebody pull 3 semi injured chameleons just left in a bag and box to die in a dumpster, big pet stores are evil
Sooooooo it was either Petco or petsmart. & I’ve been in Alota both stores & I’m gonna go w my guess being it was a Petco. Bc Petco always APPEARS to have way too many bettas.
You acclimate any fish for at least 30-minutes to an hour, while intermittently dropping a few drops of your tank water into the acclimating bag, to also get them used to the tank water. This is what I do, anyway
why are betta fish not bred enough in the states to have to ship them from overseas ? not enough profit margin or ? Knowing how many people like bettas and the interest in the fish community to breed, i would think a US supply would be available from warm weather states where they could be kept outside or in a greenhouse of sorts.
Based off the look of the bettas and bagging situation, those fish are all sick. Looks like employees were medicating and keeping them in the ziplock bags rather then them coming in from a shipment. Looks like management probably didn’t feel like dealing with them and others were probably dying too so they had them all thrown out not thinking someone would find them. Good luck with trying to heal them hopefully they all make it
This is a clickbait video. So staged. First Bettas usually are shipped in little containers to the big box stores or in breather bags. NOT ZIP LOCK BAGS. Shame on the youtuber for making this video. Shame on putting these fish through this just for video content and just to plug your website and events you will be at. This is disgusting behavior
Are you coming to Animal Con in Orlando August 26th-28th? If you need tickets, use code CHRISTOPHER at animalconusa.com

The fact they were thrown out AND haven’t eaten for weeks is beyond heartbreaking!!! Thank you for rescuing them!!!
Thank you for the time and energy you put into these little animals I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Blessings
To me, as a fish lover, it's as bad as throwing puppies in the dumpster. It's criminal.

How is it the fish shop wasn't serverly find. 🇦🇺
that is so damn sad they havent not had food that long
Clickbait thumbnail.
These are veiltail and delta
Thinking about getting a Betta… how long do you have to acclimate them for?
You acclimate any fish for at least 30-minutes to an hour, while intermittently dropping a few drops of your tank water into the acclimating bag, to also get them used to the tank water. This is what I do, anyway
They say not to add water from tank. Just acclimate then by putting them in current container in the tank
Thank you!
