Looks like it worked.  Congrats. And that's a very pretty betta. (For those fish-inclined, the scientific name is Betta splendens.) How old is he now?

Exactly! >. Part of it is their fault for not having knowledgable employees.. another part is the companies they get their fish from.. mass production and inadequate care are never a good thing.

That sucks majorly! I don't buy fish from WalMart. We have one here but I don't buy from 'em. Actually, I only buy, ah, cat treats and birdseed for wild birds from them. I get real cat food from the local Discount Pets store, (tho I don't buy fish from them either!) and I get my fish and fish supplies from Somethin' Fishy, which is a small fish store, and also from online suppliers (supplies, not fish. lol).

wal-mart is also where i shop for bird-feeding supplies. birdwatching is my most favorite hobby. i sit out back with my binoculars and hand held hummingbird feeder all the time in the summer. i truly love birds! im wanna get one as a pet, but my old man says no way! he dont want bird ca-ca everywhere!
he's so mean!
LOL. I have, ah, a pole-feeder filled with black oil sunflower seeds in the front yard (my room overlooks the front yard), a tube feeder with black oil sunflower seeds, a sock feeder with nyjer seed, and a suet feeder with suet-cake in the citrus tree. And yes, I buy the sunflower seeds by the 25-pound bags. lol. In wintertime, house finches, purple finches, and scrub-jays will drain the pole feeder and the tube feeder in two or three days flat. I also see American Goldfinches, Lesser Goldfinches, White-Crowned Sparrows, and Northern Mockingbirds. I've also seen Yellow-Rumped Warblers. Oh, and I was extremely lucky to have a Northern Flicker hybrid visit me last fall.

you have alot of the same birds as we have here in cincinnati. i dont think ive seen a warbler. i love woodpeckers, wrens, cardinals, finches, titmice, chickadees and of course hummingbirds. those bluejays sure are noisy!
im not so fond of the European Starlings that will empty our feeders in a matter of hours..we've also lost several suet feeders from the squirrels carting them off somewhere
dont they realize we aren't offering take out!!

Tree rats!!! LOL!!! Our tree squirrels just scamper across telephone wires and make off with our neighbor's watermelon seeds. Yeah, I've been thinking about making some bagel feeders. Don't know how we'd get them into the tree though... we have a hard enough time trying to rope the branches for the regular feeders... As for the hummingbird feeder, I thought about it but there isn't any place to put one up and a pole one isn't a option right now. Maybe when we move to our new house, we'll have a porch or something to hang a feeder off of.

our dogs have lots of fun chasing the squirrels...my dalmation would dive thru a plate glass window to get to one!!
just to let ya know, there are hummingbird feeders that attach to your windows with suction cups...makes watching them very easy!!

i love the glass blown ones, but they are hard to clean
i have a feeder like this. its quite small and can be put in flowering baskets. i think it only holds about 2 ounces.. i put a hole in a baseball cap with an awl, used the twist tie from bread, and hung the feeder from the bill of the hat! its amazing how they come right up to you to get a sip! ( they are sold at wal-mart)

 Yes, I know about the window feeders. We can't use them here on account of the good windows are covered with screens. :\ It keeps the bugs out, so that's a good thing...

Eeek! We don't even HAVE central a/c... just a couple of window AC's and every other free window in the house is covered with screens so we can open the windows and not have the cats bolt out. And keeping the bugs out too.

Yep, it does... I practice other electricity-conserving methods... like our lights almost never get used in the summer. I have these 2 giant windows in my room, so I rarely use the ceiling lights year-around except if I'm stuck working or studying at night. Things like that.
