..And this is what happens when they hire people who have absolutely no clue what they're doing. Like the lady who told my housemate she could keep a yellow lab cichlid in a 2.5 gallon tank.
My housemate knows nothing about fish, so she believed her. I had to talk her out of
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You're keeping a siamese fighter in a pint bowl, for crying out loud! Just because they can hack it doesn't mean they should have to.
The betta in the 1pt bowl [and I actually think it's bigger than that, to be honest.. I'm just terribly confused with measurements as I live in Canada and I'm right near the border so I get both metric and imperial.. it holds almost 4 cups of water.] is a female, and she's in there as a temporary setup. As I stated in another thread, she was a surprise random present from my mother when we were out shopping, and that bowl was the only thing I've got that I could put her in, short of a cup. She's going into my 5 gallon once the guppies are gone after Christmas, so relax. Her home is a temporary setup, whereas my housemate was led to believe she could put one [or even more if she wanted to] cichlid in the 2.5 gallon as a permanent setup.
Good lord, if you're here to pick on the way I keep my fish... isn't this supposed to be a
friendly forum? For your information, since you seem so keen on attacking my [as previously stated] temporary setup, Tinkerbell is more than happy in that bowl. I had her in a larger one for a while [before it became a home for one of my boys] and she was so lethargic and she refused to eat. Once she went into the smaller bowl, she was much more active, more brightly coloured, and started eating again. Each betta has their own personality, and mine happens to like her smaller bowl.
If ~FairyAngelFish~ choses to complain about Petsmart, that's her choice. If you're sick of reading it, then don't click on the damned topic! You're the one who chose to read the thread, and therefore you subjected yourself to her complaints. If you're sick of it, don't read it. It's that simple.
) and half of all the 10 gallons are cracked! They need to take better care of how they handle their tanks! 
I'm getting my tank from a better fish shop that is a store for fish only. My friend said they take better care of the fish too.
