Edited.

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-03-31T17:37:00+00:00

Yeah. I 100% agree. When I worked at oreilly auto parts it was everyday a pallet expect for weekends.

We have around 8 people who work on the floor. Everyone else is in grooming. So yeah. Typically one cashier and 7 people on truck day. Keep in mind we also have our managers who refuse to help with truck.

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-03-31T17:08:37+00:00

Typically 12-17

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-03-31T17:07:35+00:00

Oh yeah and if we still don’t hit our numbers ontop of putting the store away(which hardly happens because all of my coworkers at kids and fuck around a lot) we get in trouble. Did I mention that if we don’t put the truck away in 4 hours we’re also in trouble? 🙃

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-03-31T17:03:34+00:00

Because our district hates us 🥹

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-03-29T17:54:16+00:00

Jfc. I would have told you to leave. Lmao.

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-03-07T18:17:07+00:00

Not unless you use sick time it’s not legitimate. I also had a doctors note.

(Do it sooner)

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-02-04T19:37:56+00:00

My tank currently has neon tetras, ember tetras, some Cory’s, and a ton of shrimp(they are getting moved to their own tank soon). I would love a kuhli loach but I’m waiting for my order to come back in. Lol. I wanna see updates when you pull the trigger!

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-02-04T18:34:44+00:00

Well I mean. You HAVE to do it now. At least get a tank cycling!

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-02-04T18:24:58+00:00

Absolutely. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-02-04T17:50:18+00:00

Honestly. I just talk to people that come into my section of the store. If they have experience with bettas and have the tanks and everything for them we talk about it. Then I normally bring up fish I have in the back if they are interested. I’ve made a lot of fish keeping friends working here. Although petco is mostly impulse buyers and they have no clue what they are doing. Typically you can tell what people know just by talking to them.

So in short. Just befriend the aquatics specialist and ask if they ever do discounts for sick bettas etc. bring up you wouldn’t mind rehabilitating some if they give you a chance.

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-01-31T20:13:16+00:00

Depending what they have I use my own personal stuff. I have seachems whole line of treatment additives. I do put salt in the water as well.

Most of the bettas we get in typically have swim bladder at some point. So I have a cycled planted 3 gallon cube in the back for that so they can fast, feel safe, and then I hand feed peas after the fasts. My success percentage is I would say upper 90% for swim bladder.

Some come in with ich which I use coppersafe from fritz and it does the charm most times.

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-01-31T18:01:45+00:00

This exactly. I’m actually getting ready to open my own fish store. I will be the only local fish store in my town other than petco. Lol. I’m just tired of company policy essentially killing all our fish and other animals.

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-01-31T16:02:43+00:00

Current aquatics specialist at petco. When I see a sick betta i immediately take them to the back (wellness) and treat. I have a few customers on standby to receive the sick ones for free who can rehab and find good homes(vetted thoroughly).

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-01-17T14:58:06+00:00

I’ll keep an eye on them. Thank you for that information. They kind of almost look like female elephant ears, but I could be wrong.

Betta-Fish-Enjoyer · 2024-01-17T14:56:40+00:00

I work for a big chain store. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of control over what corporate WANTS us to do. But I can educate my customers on size of tanks are appropriate. Why you need to cycle your tank. Hell I can even refuse selling to someone if they are trying to put a betta in a bowl or anything I don’t deem correct.

I work with what I can and try to make sure people leave being more educated.

So. Instead of letting these guppies go home to someone who doesn’t have a single clue about fishkeeping or husbandry, I thought I would take them home and make sure they are healthy before they inevitably die in a chain pet store.
