Default Secrets the Pet Stores Don't Want You to Know

Many pet stores unfortunately just see the money involved and couldn't
care less about the animals they sell. That's why they cram bettas into
those tiny cups. More bettas in more tiny cups means more money for
them.
What pet stores don't tell you is how expensive they make betta keeping
for you. Sure you can buy that poor betta who you're saving from a life
of being crammed into that tiny cup... but then you discover that
heaters and other equipment cost a lot more than they told you it
would. (But the problem is you don't know what equipment to get!)
Then on top of that the pet stores make money when your fish die. Why?
Because you're just going to buy more fish of course!
They don't always intend to be money grubbing of course. The typical
pet store employee simply counts the hours till they can clock out of
work and go get more beer and cigarettes. Certainly compassion for the
animals... or for your wallet... does not mean a thing to them.
Well, the good news is that with my guide you can save your money. I
reveal to you all of the secrets that the pet stores don't want you to
know. You'll be laughing all the way to bank as you discover one
money-saving tip after another.
Did you know there's an easy way to reduce the amount of water changes
you have to do by 70% to 80%?
You don't need to be a math whiz to know that cleaner water means that
much less work! Here's the secret: You can do this using a decorative
plant you can put into your betta's aquarium that eats up nitrites and
ammonia that your betta produces as waste products.
That means you won't need to clean your tank as often, and your Betta
will be happier and healthier, since he'll be swimming in cleaner
water.
The best part about this plant is how easy it is to grow, as it doesn't
require direct sunlight, doesn't lay roots, and sinks right to the
bottom of the tank. And it'll make your aquarium look so much more
beautiful, not to mention your fish will love resting on its leaves!

Stores need to make money so they can be there in the first place. Most
don't view our fishies as sentient beings like they would of dogs & cats.
Never heard of anyone flushing their St Bernard down the toilet, when they
got bored of it. When you really think about it, fish keeping isn't a very
expensive hobby.

it's expensive if you don't have patience.
In that way any research is a good idea
but other wise with cash and modern technology you can solve most
problems....
that never would have existed in the first place if you had a bit of
patience.

The net should be given an award for the help it has given this hobby.
absolutely kicks ass
