I had a rescued goldfish and betta in the long past, both of which lived long lives. Now I have two aquariums to test for my pet column, so I decided to get bettas again. My previous fish were from people who didn't want them, but this time around I don't know of any unwanted fish so I bought them at a pet store. I feel so dirty!
What do others who own fish here do to get your pets without supporting the horrible trade? Unfortunately doesn't seem to be a Petfinder equivalent for fish. The bettas at the store were in tiny cups, and some were dead. I picked one who was lively and one who gave me that "please get me out of here" look. They'll have a good home now, but that doesn't give me any comfort because it's still blood money that perpetuates the awful conditions. I'd appreciate advice on getting fish without supporting the cruelty.
