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

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.

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 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.

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.

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
