So yeah, I had to go to the lps to return some shrimp, and get some water conditioner, and I just had to look at the bettas.

To my surprise, they had BEAUTIFUL halfmoon bettas! The types you see all over aquabid... in all shapes and sizes and colours. I was amazed and just stared at them for awhile. This place is SuperPet - a canadian pet store chain. They keep their bettas in tiny little cups like the rest of em - but these halfmoons fill up like the entire cup with their finnage, some of them even have to bend it...

I wonder where they heard it was a good idea to put bettas with huge fins in cups that won't even hold their finnage...

Anyway, some of them were really beautiful. They had some opaques, which I really love, and some very healthy beautiful green ones. They were all fairly small, they looked to be maybe 3 months old, beautiful healthy... they must have just gotten them in.

Then I looked at the price and almost died... 85 dollars!!!! Just for a betta!! But oh, they were on sale for 25. :/ Ohhhh, that's a lot better. And that's one hell of a sale. Who do they think they're fooling? I wanted to complain, but I just admired the bettas and left.

They were all very active, flaring at one another, healthy... I should have bought one.... but I already have 3 :blush: I can't afford to buy every beautiful boy I see. They had some VIBRANT :hyper: red ones... oh my... it was like browsing through aquabid live...

I'll have to visit more often. :p And I wonder if they'll keep doing this and figure out they shouldn't be keeping them in those cups.
 
85 dollars? :shout: Wow. I can get a rosetail for 11. and it should even be more expensive because its not a chain pet store.
 
Haha.. that's what I was thinking! I can get them cheaper, and not even in bulk, but MAN some of those were nice.. in particular there was...

Two opaques, looked very young and a bit translucent, so beautiful
A green with heavy beautiful finnage and classic HM shape
A white-bodied red-finned beauty

Oh man they were so pretty I was in heaven but... gosh... too expensive... even at 25 dollars that is a bit much, I mean, I've paid more over aquabid but that's including shipping. Shipping should be pretty much nothing to a chain store that mass-imports. :blink:

Oh and there was a turqoise that caught my eye because he was flaring at the guy in the cup next to him :p
 
Sounds hot :D I can get PKs for 7 bucks :X 25 could get you like a few bettas with shipping including no joke o_o
 
maby they were realy $20 and they said they were $80, so they can say o, lok how much you are saving when realy they are overcharging you.

OH please considering those pathetic things you've done to me in the past doesn't make you member of the month either :sly:



Btw Chrissi, do you know if its only that SuperPet that had the HMs? Or did they start stocking them in every other store as well?
 
lmfao.. ''those pathetic things you've done to me in the past''


ahahaha I would LOVE for you to elaborate.. send me a pm.. I'd like some entertainment..


I guess this topic has pretty much been hijacked.. if someone can delete all our posts that would be appreciated

I only checked SuperPet, as I'm not a fan of PetSmart, so I don't know... :( this is in London, Ontario.
