Hi,
I know I'm new here so I'm hoping this doesn't rock any boats First of all I'll say good for you, for being so compassionate and caring so much about Bettas to want to do this.
However, in my personal and humble opinion I think you (i.e. people who 'rescue' animals under these circumstances, not just YOU personally) are unfortunately doing more harm than good in the long run. You see, pet shop owners/managers who will allow their stock to get into such horrid conditions really don't CARE that they're healthy and happy or not, so long as they sell. For as long as people are willing to 'rescue' them, he'll continue to buy in and abuse more to be 'rescued' all over again. In effect, your kindness is perpetuating a cycle of animal cruelty!
As was mentioned earlier, your local council's environmental health department are the team responsible for licensing pet shops. A word in the right ear about your concerns would do well. Personally, I'd forget about being a "regular customer" of such a shameful place and take my money elsewhere even if it meant waiting for deliveries! I wouldn't wish to work for such a person either, which is something to consider. Would you be able to hold your tongue once working for the man?
All the very best to you. As I said this isn't a dig or anything, just some food for thought. I sincerely hope the little guy recovers soon.
Cheers.

I know you are right, and Im only buying the worst or the ill ones to give them a fighting chance rather then being eaten while they are still alive but too weak to defend their selfs. I know Im doing good for the animals but also bad for them as the shop will contioue to sell like this...
I will be telling on the shop, but keeping my name unmentioned. Im not working for the actual shop just another shop with a worker from that shop but has now moved if this makes sense. Im 15 and looking for a better way to get money has I only get £10 after feeding my reptiles etc... So this job means alot to me in some ways.
Yes I know this isnt a dig and just to give me and some other people though.
Also thanks for the comment about my betta

Excellent! I've been keeping, breeding and raising reps for the best part of 17 years now. Oh Lord, I just realised I've been doing something longer than you've been alive... I feel OLD
I'm much more into my working dogs and fish these days though; I'm down to a single striped Carpet Python! Back in the day I had upwards of 60; Green Tree Pythons (Aru, Sarong), Reticulated Pythons (Bali Yellow Heads), Boa Constrictors (imperator), Carpets, Royals, Uromastyx, Monitors etc etc. I was also one of the first people in the UK with albino leopard geckos breeding in the 90s Definitely enjoy the job, all the best with it!
Wow You have alot.
I have one fish tank 1 rainbow boa (That is you can help with i need it) 2 normal leo geckos and 1 chocolate albino carrot tail male. and a pink tougue skink.
Thats my person reps
My famoly has 2 royal pythons. 1 red tail boa. 2 corns (Which gave us a clutch of 14 eggs and 11 hatch last week sometime) and alot of other animals.
I have always wanted a albino gecko but find it hard to get the money to feed the ones i have. this is why i need the job lol
