Buy Betta Fish

 

Almost always, the best place to buy a betta fish is at a small, independent pet store in your area. Ask your friends and family if they know of any good places in the area, and read some online reviews. Fish that are still alive are often not sold at large national pet stores. Too many dead fish have been found in tanks, and the tanks haven't been taken care of. Even big national stores have been known to sell betta fish in tiny little cups, which you should avoid at all costs. This is not a good place for a betta fish to live. Since there isn't much water, it will get dirty very quickly. This makes betta fish sick in many ways.

This makes it more likely that you will buy a sick fish. We also think that keeping a living animal in a tank is cruel to animals and shouldn't be supported. Some people who like betta fish choose to buy these fish because they want to "save" them. Their hearts are in the right place, but buying these fish only helps the trade.

No matter where you buy your fish, make sure that all of the tanks are clean and that you never buy a fish from an aquarium that has a dead or obviously sick fish in it. Let’s find out what to look before buying betta fish

Pay close attention to the ends of its fins. If the fins are a little darker or white, this could be a sign of fin rot. Wounds, scars, ulcers, and parasites that are easy to see are obviously a no. The edges of fins shouldn't be torn or rough. Closed or clamped fins are another sign of trouble.
