ravekiss · 02-03-2005, 02:54 PM

What will they do to the betta next...I'm afraid to ask.

garfieldnfish · 02-03-2005, 02:59 PM

I would hope that this beta is a plastic fish.

ravekiss · 02-03-2005, 03:00 PM

Its real..I hate to admit it

garfieldnfish · 02-03-2005, 03:06 PM

I am not a violent person, but God forbid I should ever meet someone carrying a bag like that around.

Lexus · 02-03-2005, 03:12 PM

wouldnt the betta get shooken to death? god!

ravekiss · 02-03-2005, 03:15 PM

After being repeatedly thrown over shoulder...yes.

gate113 · 02-03-2005, 03:34 PM

I can imagine only rich poeple buying a bag like that. And...since they fish will probably die everyday, they can buy a new bag with new fish in it every day! But still thats a horrible idea

karatechic007 · 02-03-2005, 04:27 PM

how does the betta get food??????? i would be so pissed if i saw someone carrying a bag like that around....

shev · 02-03-2005, 04:32 PM

Almost as bad as the goldfish in the platoform shoes.

fishgfish · 02-03-2005, 05:32 PM

I have seen chrismas tree ornaments, closed glass ball with a betta inside. they say it will be alive in there for up to two weeks, later you brake the ball and move the batta to vase or a bowl. People do crule thing to fish for some money.

Lexus · 02-03-2005, 06:28 PM

everything these days is for money, they dont care if its cruel or not

JandaSeve · 02-03-2005, 06:54 PM

This has been posted before and many many ppl wrote nasty e-mail to the lady who owns the buisness.

fishfreaks · 02-03-2005, 07:09 PM

omg

Fish n chips · 02-04-2005, 12:06 AM

Oh my god

How aer the poor things gonna feed there gonna get stressed to s**t

maxpayne_lhp · 02-04-2005, 01:25 AM

Well, after shocked, underfeeded, choked... the fish will end up in a whashing machine.
Hmmm... a new fashion trend? Arghhh people are so mad! What's so beautiful about it? I wonder... :S X-(

BlueAmbist · 02-04-2005, 04:14 AM

Not sure how many read the about page. http://www.bubblegear.8k.com/about.html

It sounds like there trying to do whats OK for a betta, either way its moving its going to get stressed. Oh, and I work in a petstore, the betta arn't there for the rest of there lives, its a temporary home until we sell them. We get 20-50 bettas in per week, it would be kind of tough to house that many or even have room for bigger bowls for that many.

osteoporoosi · 02-04-2005, 04:43 AM

What kind of sick people do this kinds of things?!
I bet the betta carcass looks really nice after couple of weeks from purchasing the bag..

Mr Aquarium · 02-04-2005, 09:08 AM

I really think that is a bad way to make money,,,,and from the looks of the lady in the pic holding that bag, she would sell her kids to make a buck,,,,,,
I think a couple people with contacts here shoud make this known to the Fish Mag people and let them rip this apart.......then this dumb donky rear of a person could put them reviews on her page as well........To bad they can make money off the rich and still can;t figure out how to dress...LOL
I think we should all email her and let her know she is doing a very bad thing here......Or better yet, runa Must vote poll on this and send that to her.

Mr Aquarium · 02-04-2005, 09:14 AM

Well, even though this aint right,,,,did anyone read any farther then the first page?
The Betta isn;t sold with that bag and they have food for sale as well....

I have to laugh somewhat at this, Just for the reason some people thinks my coffee pot idea wasn;t very good, And I wasn;t the first one to think of that either,
I wouldn;t even stoop this low....

hugeshoes · 02-04-2005, 11:25 AM

That is horrible! I can't believe anyone would be cruel enough to actually buy one of these. The worst part is that the people who would buy this would probably just throw it away once the fish died. Either that or buy another fish to put in there after the first one died. Like others have said, If I saw someone with one of these, I would surely give them a piece of my mind.
