i went to walmart today and went streight for the bettas. they were all in horible condition, they had no females ( which i was accually looking ) but they had some nice males. lotsa purples and reds, a couple nice blue ones. they had mostly vts but i did c a couple delta tails. one male that caught my eye was a purp/steel blue/opuge betta. he looked in bad shape and on lady picked up his cup and said "hes almost dead". i picked him up and looked him over, he was rely nice. in another cup was a blue delta male, he was in a cracked cup that looked like sum 1 droped it on the floor. i asked an employee to put him in a new cup and they did. he was in great condion and i woulda hated if he ran outa water and died because i thoght he had a better chance outa all the bettas of finding a good home. i didn't take him home because i didn't have any room but i did take the purple one that was on his last leg. in a betta cup in the sink there was some baby guppys or plattys that i wanted to c if i could take home to but wen i asked all the clerk did was grummble and tell me the bettas were 3 bux ( not wat i asked )

iv got the lil guy home and in fresh water with conditioner, salt and melfix. hes looking great, hes swimming around and doing barel rolls n stuff. i fatend him up good with betta bites which he rely likes. he eats funny, he'll flare at the lil pelet b4 chomping it down, its pretty amuseing. hes about the same size as my male ct but im not sure exactly how old he is. i think hes got a lil doble tail geno in him because on his purple tail theres this real thin clear finage line running from half way down his tail to the very end, i think hes rely cool.

ill have a bunch of pic tommarrow :thumbs:
 
We want pics!

He sounds nice..... :nod:

Walmart carries Deltas..... :look:
 
yep, accually had some real nice delts -_- its a bummer i couldn't get them all :D
iv got the pics just gotta uploade them wen i fnd time -_-
 


Hiya, sounds great! i had my own lil rescue yesturday to Fyn

I think i now have the Betta craze within me, as i cant seem to resist going to the shops, just to look, and keep tabs on the shops to make sure the bettas are being cared for propperly!
 
I haven't noticed any deltas at my walmarts :(
There is only one walmart near me that sells females and its at a good price too. But they never re stock their tanks.......
Cant wait to see your pics
 
well the one i got isn't a delta, hes just a vt, i was surprised at first myself, for the longest time th eonly thing iv seen them sell is vts
 
Your comment about your rescued little guy doing barrel rolls etc. made me smile. I know someone who kept a Betta in a large drinking glass on their dining room table for like 20 years. I about croaked. What kind of life for a fish is that? :crazy: Mine loves his 5 gallon and is extremely active(and ALWAYS hungry the little piggy!). We have a good fish lady at our local Wallyworld, but I still hate seeing the Bettas arrive in those teeny cups. No wonder they hardly move. How can they? High fives on giving the little guy a new lease on life! :thumbs: Way proud of ya! :nod:
 
the bowl iv got him in know is pretty small, bigger than his cup, but small. id like to find a good deal on sum 1gs so i can keep all the males and have a female comm in my 10g

did u say that fisj lived 20 years :eek: :huh:
