I love and care for fish. My brother works in the pet department at Walmart, so I taught him how to give them PROPER care. I always make sure that he feeds them, does water changes, and remove dead fish. Since he took over, tanks have been cleaner, and fish have been healthier! And a lot less deaths!!!
lps minty paws lucky my Walmart (I guess it’s still 10 miles away) has fish and I feel bad for them ( I never go to Walmart cuz it just seems to cheap and dirty)
The only problem with rescuing fish from Walmart is that they just get more . I went in to one one time where all of the Betta's were in water that was cloudy and orange . Had to walk half way through the store to find an employee to tell that they needed to be tended to .
Leave them to shame walmarts fish keepers and to drive people away from buying fish from them. Hopefully a health inspector would walk by and make them shutdown the entire fish operation.
I will comment. I encourage everyone who visits WM to scoop the dead fish from the tank and leave them on the counter. Lets keep doing it until it starts getting news coverage...or until we get kicked out. Either is fine with me. Fish lovers Unite!
My Betta is a rescue from my local pet store that treat them the same way, his container was so dirty you could barely even see him. There were also many new colorful bettas with spots and stuff but I got him, a little grey/brown guy with fin rot who was half dead. I got him a 10 gallon tank with a heater, filter, and tons of hides/plants. At first he was so sick he couldn’t even eat but I treated him for Fin Rot and attempted to feed him every day. Now Leo is healthy and eats like a lion, the water quality brightened his color as well, now instead of a brownish/grey he’s bright red with blue accents. I’m definitely happy to have rescued him, hopefully he lives many years though his bad life quality when he was young might effect his lifespan, Im still glad I chose him.
That’s great! The more people who don’t buy a betta at a store, the more bettas lives are saved. My store doesn’t sell bettas either because nobody bought them anymore :D
The color changing thing happened to my Betta. I got him at pet smart and his water was cloudy and he just looked really depressed but the good thing was that he wasn't sick but he was all pale pink. And after like two days of being in a clear 10 gallon tank with plants and a rock cave he was red and a glimmery white he is really a happy boy now
Here in Sweden you can only buy fishes in petstores or from breeders. Dogs and cats is fobidden to sell at petstores. Puppymills are also strictly forbidden in Sweden.
honestly i get my fish from pet smart. tho since i live in a small town, our fish selection is limited to smaller fish. but i was able to get some angel fish and colorful cichlids in London Ontario. pretty good price, and they get along rather well.
Madeleine Andersson i wish the UK and US would have those laws especially the US but the UK has pets at home and let’s just say something some pet at home stores are pretty bad
James Hume like this one person can do that, he can't boycott by himself so of course they contributed by buying one, just one fish to save it, it won't make a change to the business anyway
Novaxx It’s disgusting that people like you think “oH It’s nOt gOiNG tO StoP aNYwAyS” if people stop supporting Walmart by "recusing" the fish (being a regular customer and purchasing the fish) then one day Walmart will stop selling fish. Btw you do know that you’re being selfish.
ʍǝɹpuɐ oɐƃ “bY tHe wAy dO yOu KnOw YoURe bEinG sElfISh” Haha! I’m not selfish but thanks for the humor. Honestly I hate Walmart and how they treat the fish. What I meant, my dear friend, was that it will not stop because people are still going to be ill minded enough to not see the poor treatment these fish get at Walmart and continuously buy them. Not myself.
I just wanna make something clear- by buying from walmart, you are not "rescuing" the fish. You're buying it. And this tells the store to continue supplying fish because people are pity buying. It's not a rescue unless you got it for free and without handing money to the store to encourage their behavior towards fish. It sucks that fish are suffering but the cycle will continue if u keep feeding it money. And water does not contain the established bacteria your nitrogen cycle has. That's the filter media. Water/gravel do NOT hold your bacteria. I would really suggest just setting up the tank beforehand, monitoring it for a few days to make sure the cycle survived the move.
@@weirdo_girl1678 yeah you can, in fact its happening all the time, and he isnt saving every fish, he is saving 1 fish that casts 100 more to the same life.
Filters and Heaters are a NECESSITY for Bettas. As bad as it sounds, saving fish is counterproductive. It betters the life of one fish, but then more are sold that way. If people didn't buy them, then they woudn't sell them.
in a nut shell yes, but you direct people to a lawyer that is going to sue over a betta. remember lawyers are just as bad as they only care about cash.
I bought a betta fish from Wal-Mart almost two months ago. His water was super dirty and he wasn't moving much. He's blue red and black. He's beautiful. I named him Franklin for some reason. He's doing good now!
Thanks for rescuing the Betta, our Walmart in Yuma Arizona has fish in the same condition. We have made so many complaints with no results. I've rescued 4. They each have at least 1.5 gallons of h20. Thanks for posting and rescuing the beautiful little guy.
Fishing Fantasy yeah, but now you've basically doomed other fish who will replace him. By paying for the fish, you're supporting how they are sold. This is an issue that a lot of people don't understand. People who buy puppies from puppy farms and claim to have saved that dog, have actually just paid for the company breed more dogs into the horrible conditions. Same with kitten farm, Walmart selling fish, and other things. While it's great that you saved one fish, you're supporting heaps more death and torture.
marcelino operario LISTEN UP rescuing these fish is just letting Wal-Mart know that people buy these fish which means they will continue getting the fish. By buying a fish you are supporting this. Please stop. What we need to focus on is spreading awareness. I understand this helps with that but your also being counter active and giving other people the idea of doing themselves.
Trainzfan 14 and what’s with your point? Just because some Walmart stores stopped selling fish meaning that you can go to the ones that does and "rescue" them (being a normal ass customer supporting the company).
Walmart sucks at fish because the people tasked with taking care of them are also tasked with multiple other tasks, so they can't focus much time on the fish, sad to say. Also sad to say rescuing that betta just means that fish won't suffer, but others will as they're cheap enough walmart can afford to eat the losses
You do realize the whole pet industry and even breeders treat there animals like shit, instead they should have a special regular check up on all the animals in all shops to see if they are well taken care and fined if they fail, just my opinion....
@tomaten suppe no they won't you don't understand how walmart works. even if they don't sell them and they die, their idea is we will just restock them in case someone does want one. even if they keep selling just one betta, people will still come back because who wants to go to 5 different stores to buy what they need, when walmart will sell everything.
Yes they will. The walmart near my house used to sell betters and african dwarf frogs and people stopped buying them because of the horrible conditions. This walmart no longer stocks fish or aquatic animals of any kind.
So far, I'm in my third betta rescue. My first one was a King halfmoon betta. When I got him, he was like a pale pink with a couple of black spots. Within just a few weeks, he darkened up and also got some light blue in him. My second one was a copper betta. He was a translucent gray with a slight hint of red. Also within a few weeks, he is now super active and looks incredibly healthy and happy. Finally, I'm 2 weeks in on my third betta, a butterfly betta. He had a gray body and white translucent fins. Unlike the others, he had really bad fin rot and I was also able to get him 50% off. As of now, his fins are growing back and he's getting more color in him. I really wish I could put pictures of them in to actually show the difference as I'm bad at explaining. But thank you for taking the time to read this as Bettas are my passion, have a great day!
Very admirable. But let me play devils advocate here for a second. WalMart is a retail store that uses SKU's tracked by computer. Every time they sell an item, be it fish or feather duster it is automatically added to the next order. So...if people take a cue from this video and run out and buy fish from WalMart they will indeed save a percentage of the fished purchased. However, a huge number of fish far surpassing the number of rescues will either die or at the very least be subjected to horrible conditions, disease, and malnutrition. In theory your video could have killed hundreds, if not thousands of fish since being published in May. Your heart is in the right place but you didn't think it through....
Nutella The snake I was never trying to encourage and to steal (I wasn’t trying to). I was jus commenting something that related to the topic. (Edit: who were you replying to tho)
You may have contributed to the problem, but you removed more innocent fish from that living hell. Also, I’m glad to know that the beautiful veiltail (the betta) has a more brighter and beautiful color after they moved into there.
Two things! First, this video made me happy that you saved the fish. You really can see how much the fish changed. Second, your filming was pretty great.
yes finally more recognition on this topic. my mom, sister and i have been feeding and saving their beta fish for as long as they’ve had them. they finally upgraded to those huge tanks and it’s so sad. fish shouldn’t be living in these conditions... they have souls too.
You’re quality of videos are amazing! But wouldn’t buying fish from Walmart only promote them to supply more fish? Glad the new rescued betta is doing well. :) Good luck.
I get what you guys say when you tell these people to not rescue fish since it only contributes to the problem. But am I, like so many others, supposed to just let it die in a cramped cup without living an unfulfilled life? I think tf not.
The Mediocre Gatsby That’s what must be done, the more you buy, the more that will suffer in the future. Unless your going to go to Walmart everyday and buy every single one of their fish (and trust me if they are making good sales on the fish they will restock every day). People should instead take action against them selling fish at all, like peaceful protests etc.
I'm someone who, if given an extra scratch card when buying one, I'd give it back to the shop. And even I say you should steal them. It's sad that this is still legal.
Where we bought our betta fish, it looked miserable, near the edge of dying, once we bought it and put it in the tank, in just a few days he looked like he was always healthy I am glad and proud to say that hes been living a happy life in my tank.
Ive read that adding water can work but only if you add only that water and usually you still want to wait a week to see if the bacteria actually caught. (The last 6 times I tried it did not work.) I always just end up using a chunk of old filter media that is already established.
I think you’re doing an excellent job rescuing fish from Walmart. This is my first time watching your channel and I’m definitely subscribing! Keep up the great work!
I appreciate that you know how to legitimately save fish before you start making videos. Unlike a different channel RAW fishing who kills more in the process of “ saving “
@@taha123h 1. RAW took tons of goldfish and released them into a lake, therefore destroying the ecosystem and endangering the lives of other, actually wild fish. 2. RAW also "saved" tons of small fish or something that other fish and animals eat, therefore starving the local wildlife. He's probably done more but I didn't stay around on the idiot's channel for long.

that's why i buy my fish from pet smart. i have 3 aquariums. an 8 gallon hex tank with 1 betta 5 neon tetras and 2 snails. a 45 gallon bow front with 1 betta some more tetras snails and shrimp. and a 75 gallon tank with angel fish and a fair bit of cichlids and snails.
This made me so happy seeing you rescue him and you can really see the difference in him like you mentioned with his colours :) thankfully where I live we don't have walmart or petsmart we have a very friendly pet store nearby me and they look after there pets that they sell so yesterday I bought a veil red & purple betta fish :)
Was given my betta as a gift and it came from a chain petstore (was still in it’s little plastic cup) he went from being super dull and pale pink to a super bright peach, light blue and red in a day. I recently moved him into a big tank and he’s doing so well with my pleco. Fish need love and care, y’all!
Walmart should not be aloud to sell fish of ANY kind! Wether it's bettas, or goldfish, its all abuse. I am planning to rescue a betta tomorrow there is a crowntail that doesn't even look like a crowntail. Wish me luck!
And it’s not the established water you want it’s the media, don’t make videos pertaining the wrong information, the water alone won’t be able to do what’s needed, this is the reason new tank syndrome happens

thank you for saving the betta :) also i noticed you said to use established tank water to cycle a new tank i just want to let you and other people who might be learning from this video that it doesn’t cycle the tank at all. also i’m not sure if you have a filter or heater in there but bettas most definitely need those things. other than that the live plants were looking super nice and i hope the betta is doing well to this day!
You don't say oh, if this video gets 100k views I'll save the fish in Walmart, no you don't say, which one should I save, you say let's save as much as possible instead of letting the fish suffer, yeah I understand you saved that betta but you don't just sit and wait and say which fish should I save, save them all you don't need 100k views to save the lives of someone else
As an owner of two Betta fish which were both in terrible condition when I bought them this warms my heart also my first Betta live a long 4 year life and my new one has so far been with us for 2 months.
I just got my first rescue betta his colour has already gone from washed out pink to red! Love him. Now at work to regrow fins. I saw one with NO FINS left and keep wanting to go grab him off the shelves.
I used to work there, someone returned a betta and he was missing most of his fins and the manager was going to have to flush him and I asked if I could take him home. He passed away many years later, fins fully grown back, in a filtered 10 gallon tank with fresh plants and a heater. Bjorn was a good fish, puffed up at everyone but me
My brother used to work at Walmart, and from what he’s said they’re supposed to start phasing out their fish-selling thing, but clearly there are still locations that do it
It's amazing how you are helping out ,I would do the same but my walmart doesn't sell animals but I like to rescue animals from street markets or terrible pet stores
The only Walmart I've ever seen sell fish is the one in Santee California and they had a happy healthy little crown tail Betta. I fell in love with him lol
Really heartbreaking how some ppl treat animals. Ur blue vail tail Betta is such a beautiful fish. I have the same Betta and he is living his life. 😊 🐟 💙
Filter, heater, nitrogen cycle, 5 gallons tank ? He seems better than in walmart but it's clearly not perfect ... Is the goldfish tank is enough big for them ? 3 goldfish = 40 gallons...
Omg I’m so happy u rescued that poor betta fish I saved alot of sick bettas from Walmart and they all lived for a Long time I’m so happy Walmart doesn’t sell bettas anymore and by the way my mom got me 2 new bettas from petsmart my Betta fish is red with blue and the other betta fish is my nephews it’s blue and black 😃

Wal-Mart shouldn't be allowed to have fish.
I agree and this isn’t the worst Walmart out there
My Walmart is ok....but I still try to help the poor things
You should be allowed to use a dictionary...
Fishing Fantasy I have seen so many 1000 times worse
I don't blame Walmart I blame the worker
The only problem with rescuing fish from Walmart is that they just get more .
I went in to one one time where all of the Betta's were in water that was cloudy and orange . Had to walk half way through the store to find an employee to tell that they needed to be tended to .
I found a manager and told her and she walked away and didn’t realize my mom was 2 isles down and made a joke about me calling peta on them
Pressley Deese what did your mama say? My mom would go mama bear mode XD
Duckzter 101 she freaked out on the lady
Pressley Deese haha! My mom would probably do the same thing! XD
chris guyer I mean they would get more once they die anyways so saving this guy was the right decision
...
So no one is going to comment how those three dead fish are still on the counter?
No
I know it’s so sad and gross 🤢😭
Leave them to shame walmarts fish keepers and to drive people away from buying fish from them. Hopefully a health inspector would walk by and make them shutdown the entire fish operation.
I will comment. I encourage everyone who visits WM to scoop the dead fish from the tank and leave them on the counter. Lets keep doing it until it starts getting news coverage...or until we get kicked out. Either is fine with me. Fish lovers Unite!

Buying or saving fish as you call it, works very counterproductive. Stop buying them, they will stop stocking them.
no they won't walmart doesn't care. if the fish die, they will just order more. but buying the fish also gives the same result.
Yeah, but they obviously won't make any profit from these fish if nobody buys them anymore. Then they might stop selling them.

You’re quality of videos are amazing! But wouldn’t buying fish from Walmart only promote them to supply more fish? Glad the new rescued betta is doing well. :) Good luck.
Yeah you’re right! Hopefully this video gets a lot of views to show why Walmart should not keep fish
Fishing Fantasy what exact camera do you use? The video quality is so good
Blue Ink exactly
I get what you guys say when you tell these people to not rescue fish since it only contributes to the problem. But am I, like so many others, supposed to just let it die in a cramped cup without living an unfulfilled life? I think tf not.
The Mediocre Gatsby
That’s what must be done, the more you buy, the more that will suffer in the future. Unless your going to go to Walmart everyday and buy every single one of their fish (and trust me if they are making good sales on the fish they will restock every day). People should instead take action against them selling fish at all, like peaceful protests etc.
@@snowydoe7514 that's stupid
@@coralshingler8752 Lol, leaving the store with a Beta cup stuffed in your bra
I'm someone who, if given an extra scratch card when buying one, I'd give it back to the shop. And even I say you should steal them.
It's sad that this is still legal.
Just steal them lol. That's why I dont buy my fish from pet stores or Walmart. I mean I dont support Walmart in general.
Where we bought our betta fish, it looked miserable, near the edge of dying, once we bought it and put it in the tank, in just a few days he looked like he was always healthy
I am glad and proud to say that hes been living a happy life in my tank.
This is so awesome!! The fish change it’s color so much ❤️❤️please do more rescue videos like these!
He should have a heater and a filter, but he looks happy nonetheless.
1. Acclimation?
2. You are only supporting the business
3. How big is that tank?
Thanks! Additionally:
4. Heater?
5. Filter?
6. That's not how you cycle a tank use the filter media
Ive read that adding water can work but only if you add only that water and usually you still want to wait a week to see if the bacteria actually caught. (The last 6 times I tried it did not work.) I always just end up using a chunk of old filter media that is already established.
I love your editing
I think you’re doing an excellent job rescuing fish from Walmart. This is my first time watching your channel and I’m definitely subscribing! Keep up the great work!
The photography in your videos are amazing!
Make longer vids please I love these
His fin change💞💞
Sam yeah and thats magic not even a molting betta fish can do that in 1day, veiltail betta turns into royal blue veiltail betta
Ik hes faking
Btw water does not cycle it the filter cartridge or gravel will hold beneficial bacteria not water.Anways good job!
Thanks for the tip, half of the gravel in the tank was put in directly from the goldfish tank so he is good 👍
That really makes me upset. Poor fishies. You are such a kind soul for rescuing one.
Very pretty betta you have there. Thanks for rescuing him. I've done the same now for a couple bettas, and they're both doing great since I got them.
I appreciate that you know how to legitimately save fish before you start making videos. Unlike a different channel RAW fishing who kills more in the process of “ saving “
Calla Mitchum how does RAW fishing kill them?
K
Student Robert Ross that is blakesexoticranch not raw
Student Robert Ross raw is the one who pond was slit open
@@taha123h 1. RAW took tons of goldfish and released them into a lake, therefore destroying the ecosystem and endangering the lives of other, actually wild fish.
2. RAW also "saved" tons of small fish or something that other fish and animals eat, therefore starving the local wildlife.
He's probably done more but I didn't stay around on the idiot's channel for long.
Can you rescue them all?? Those poor fish! How is it possible that they are allowed to keep them in those tiny pots? 🤬🤬🤬
LISTEN UP rescuing these fish is just letting Wal-Mart know that people buy these fish which means they will continue getting the fish. By buying a fish you are supporting this. Please stop. What we need to focus on is spreading awareness. I understand this helps with that but your also being counter active and giving other people the idea of doing themselves.
that's why i buy my fish from pet smart. i have 3 aquariums. an 8 gallon hex tank with 1 betta 5 neon tetras and 2 snails. a 45 gallon bow front with 1 betta some more tetras snails and shrimp. and a 75 gallon tank with angel fish and a fair bit of cichlids and snails.
Idc if I'm making Wal-Mart rich, all I know is that I'm making a difference in saving an animals life.
I love how you keep your betas it looks so neat and clean
This made me so happy seeing you rescue him and you can really see the difference in him like you mentioned with his colours :) thankfully where I live we don't have walmart or petsmart we have a very friendly pet store nearby me and they look after there pets that they sell so yesterday I bought a veil red & purple betta fish :)
Unrelated but your editing is fire! What do you use?
Adobe suite
This is a purchase not a rescue. I would rather support fish stores which keep their fish in decent conditions.
When he left the dead fishes on the counter I was like: EEEEEEEEEEEEE
Was given my betta as a gift and it came from a chain petstore (was still in it’s little plastic cup) he went from being super dull and pale pink to a super bright peach, light blue and red in a day. I recently moved him into a big tank and he’s doing so well with my pleco. Fish need love and care, y’all!
3:33 Does Jeremy have an ammonia burn? I really want to know if that's normal because my blue betta has it too. Should I be worried?
@Herofwind _ Thank you! That was very helpful.
Walmart should not be aloud to sell fish of ANY kind! Wether it's bettas, or goldfish, its all abuse. I am planning to rescue a betta tomorrow there is a crowntail that doesn't even look like a crowntail. Wish me luck!
Grace's Pet Paradise how was it
You saved?
I say rescue them all
FreakyStar9119 Gamer how
You either buy all of the fish that Walmart owns or not buy a single one so they will stop selling the fishes themselves
FreakyStar9119 Gamer and then u will leave more fish I that place they will get more since u bought
And it’s not the established water you want it’s the media, don’t make videos pertaining the wrong information, the water alone won’t be able to do what’s needed, this is the reason new tank syndrome happens
I like people like you who understand that fish have a life aswell x
Omg that's awesome that you saved him. He was very happy in his new habitat he even made a bubble nest!!!
Your not rescuing fish,.there just gonna restock so you putting more lives (of fish) indanger
They would die due to bad health conditions and lack of care and they would replace them anyway.
Walmart sells fish Nani?
pls rescue the fish now

Megan Howe i live in austria and have a great fish store they are healthy thats where i bought my first fishes
Felix S I'm mainly taking about the reflective and abusive ones
thank you for saving the betta :) also i noticed you said to use established tank water to cycle a new tank i just want to let you and other people who might be learning from this video that it doesn’t cycle the tank at all. also i’m not sure if you have a filter or heater in there but bettas most definitely need those things. other than that the live plants were looking super nice and i hope the betta is doing well to this day!
I don't think he would have lived much longer,thank to you,and his new home,he now looks beautiful🐠
You don't say oh, if this video gets 100k views I'll save the fish in Walmart, no you don't say, which one should I save, you say let's save as much as possible instead of letting the fish suffer, yeah I understand you saved that betta but you don't just sit and wait and say which fish should I save, save them all you don't need 100k views to save the lives of someone else
Lexie Russell Well I have a PayPal, if you want to pay I can build a pond for thousands of feeder fish
Wow, 1) you're being counter productive 2) bettas are territorial and they have to have separate tanks or else they will fight
You should not buy fish it will increase demand and more fish will suffer few must be sacrificed for more will live
Save all the fish like ya
Those poor Walmart fishies 😟😞😖😢😭 thank God you rescued him. He's beautiful
As an owner of two Betta fish which were both in terrible condition when I bought them this warms my heart also my first Betta live a long 4 year life and my new one has so far been with us for 2 months.
What type of water do you use for any betta and WHERE do you get it from please some one help me
aww he looked so depressed before and now he’s happy and bright 🥰
I know this is late but what tank did you use
I subscribed *immediately* when I saw this! Thank you for doing this! ❤️❤️😭
Thanks!!
I just got my first rescue betta his colour has already gone from washed out pink to red! Love him. Now at work to regrow fins. I saw one with NO FINS left and keep wanting to go grab him off the shelves.
Does damaged beta fin grow back.? I had two beta in a tank. One attacked the other and damaged 50% of it. I separated them out and taking care.
U have a beautiful heart , wish there were more good people like you ,
I know that this is a fish video but something about your voice is so attractive
I used to work there, someone returned a betta and he was missing most of his fins and the manager was going to have to flush him and I asked if I could take him home. He passed away many years later, fins fully grown back, in a filtered 10 gallon tank with fresh plants and a heater. Bjorn was a good fish, puffed up at everyone but me
Betta fish..so beautiful colours
My brother used to work at Walmart, and from what he’s said they’re supposed to start phasing out their fish-selling thing, but clearly there are still locations that do it
It's amazing how you are helping out ,I would do the same but my walmart doesn't sell animals but I like to rescue animals from street markets or terrible pet stores
Hi ! I love this video. I'm a new subscriber :D
Thanks for subscribing!!
Wow, your aquariums are amazing!!
You just earned your self a subscriber, keep it up bra
Your tank looks beautiful. Perfect size! How many gallons? I’m thinking to get a 5-6 Gallon for my newest Betta.
Why is the water blue in the cups?
The only Walmart I've ever seen sell fish is the one in Santee California and they had a happy healthy little crown tail Betta. I fell in love with him lol
I liked size aquarium, could you tell me the model, please, thanks a lot.
I never saw this model here in Brazil.
damn your edits are so lit🔥
Also, what store do you go to for your plants? The bettas look GORGEOUS there!!
Really heartbreaking how some ppl treat animals.
Ur blue vail tail Betta is such a beautiful fish.
I have the same Betta and he is living his life. 😊
🐟 💙
Filter, heater, nitrogen cycle, 5 gallons tank ? He seems better than in walmart but it's clearly not perfect ... Is the goldfish tank is enough big for them ? 3 goldfish = 40 gallons...
We need more people like you in this world,you are a very god person😍
Those poor fish. God bless you for saving her 😢💔
Him* lol the female betta arent that vibrant
Omg I’m so happy u rescued that poor betta fish I saved alot of sick bettas from Walmart and they all lived for a Long time I’m so happy Walmart doesn’t sell bettas anymore and by the way my mom got me 2 new bettas from petsmart my Betta fish is red with blue and the other betta fish is my nephews it’s blue and black 😃
