Petco is now advertising for betta soroties and will have a tank devoted to female bettas. This highly debated housing and treatment of female splendens is, in my opinion, unethical and abusive.
I ask of you guys to not lash out, and protest petco. Instead inform and teach people the proper treatment of bettas and explain that sororities are a very stressful environment and usually end with the death of many fish.
Please spread the word so we may educate those on proper care of bettas!
I agree about not lashing out. Those of us who see sororities for what they are are a very small group compared to those who are okay with them. Petco is going to make more money off selling 3+ females to careless owners than they will lose from us leaving them. This move is no doubt going to end in the death of many, many females, but we can try to save some of them. It’s the same situation as betta bowls: no matter how much we scream, they’re just going to ignore us to make a profit.
As a Petco Employee,I’m sure as shit not letting ANYONE through without them hearing how bad this is.
