50 bettas

[thellama]

i now work at a pet store..

and someone came in and bought 50 bettas..

25 red and 25 blue..

i was gonna ask what they were gonna do with them after..

i thought hopefully theyll give them away as gifts.. since they all had bowls..

but who knows

just thought it was interesting so i posted it

If it is for a wedding...they are probably using them as centerpieces. (That is the new trend...at leat it was when I was getting married...no I didn't use bettas.) Then yes, they usually give them as presents to the guests.

yea they were all apparently going into bowls..

expensive

I went to a wedding that had betta centerpieces. One chair at each table had a sticker under it and that person got to take home the betta. I do remember there was a few unclaimed at the end of the night though.

My Girlfriend went to a sweetsixteen and they had bettas for center pieces. She says people got to take them home . My Gf still has hers and her sis, but her cousin and her other family members bettas didn't do so well, if you know what i mean.

I personly hate the idea.

At my bar mitzvah i had bettas in 1 gals on every table and i gave most away to my friends.

Hope you told your friends how to care for them.

I've seen them used with the peace lillies as centerpieces at weddings before. That was before I knew how bad it was for the bettas or I would have said something!

 

[thellama]

[J0hnny]

wow, 50 bettas... yeah bettas as center pieces are nice... i just wish i was at the wedding

 

[thellama]

bagged em all and put em into boxes

I hope they get cared for properly! That many bettas being given away to uncaring parents would be disasterous.

 

[thellama]
