Neglected fish!!

Hi Reddit! So my sister has neglected this betta for about 1 year now (small tank, no filter, no air pump, etc. the usual betta neglect). I have been back from college for a few days now and I took it in my care but I need some help. I moved him into a 50 Liters tank with a heater and a filter and air pump. It has a few rocks and woods in the aquarium and a small anubias nana plant. I put into his...

Confused product…

My wife picked these up at the local pet store. The front sticker must be made in Australia, whilst the back stick must be made in South America… I wonder where the dog treats were made?

Yet another update on my cat that got traumatized from a dog attack last summer

So in the past three weeks she has gotten so much better to the point that it surprised my coworkers at the pet store. She has started to whine at the door to ask to go outside for the first time since the dog attack last summer and when entering the pet store she has started to jump out of my arms to go explore the store and say hello to people. She still gets tense if she hears barking or if a d...

very stressed little bird :(

Hi guys, I wish this was a happy, positive post, but its not unfortunately. Six days ago, I purchased 2 budgies and 2 cockatiels (roughly 10 weeks old) from an independently owned pet store. To give some context, these birds were living in tiny little cages with 10-20 other birds per cage, completely cramped up and unable to move around much. It was really hard not to buy all of them (but unfor...

A pet store tank full of mice works on a plan to escape. Several of them make a break for it and shenanigans ensue.

The details of it being a pet store and mice are definitive - it is not the rats of NIMH. Bonus: I went looking for books listed on goodreads with mice as protagonists and was briefly convinced [I had found it](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18455196-nezumi-s-children) before I realized this book was published in 2013. The book I read was published sometime in the early 1990s. Furthermore, I...

New little friend! I need help naming them though

Just to clarify, i did NOT get him from any pet store, i got him from someone selling him on kijiji, and they were just done with hermit crabs i guess… but i did not support the hermit crab pet trade at all. Open to literally any names, goofy, serious, whatever. I have no idea what their gender is. Here is one of the lowest quality photos i have ever took. He is TINY, the smallest crab i ...

Another case of mistaken identity (…not honey gourami)

**reposted because I had a goofy typo and it wouldn’t let me edit Hi all — I am not a new aquarist, though it’s been about ten years since my last aquarium and I am new to gourami. I used to breed angels and they’re my favorite fish, so I have three juveniles in my recently set up 50 gallon. I did a bit of research as to some gourami compatible with cichlids, and honey gourami came up ti...

Local pet store got GSD puppies from a puppy mill

I was in the market for a German Shepherd puppy and my local store had 3 siblings (all blue/ tan coats). I went to see the pups without intent to purchase as they’re kinda expensive and did research on the breeder. Turns out it’s a puppy mill with 26 full grown dogs and another 25 puppies at time of inspection (3/24/25) and these pups were born 2/16/25. Does anyone have experience with this? A...

Can I get some advice/ Suggestions?

I keep fish and over the years I’ve collected some tanks and now I have like 9 extra tanks of varying sizes (I’ll list them near the end). I’ve been kinda leaning away from setting up another aquatic animal because I already stress about the amount of water I have just sitting around in my tanks.So I’ve been looking into other animals I can keep. I went to my local pet store and seen a ...

Buried Wishes

Cassie's fingers trembled as she pressed the small copper coin into Matt's palm. "Your turn," she whispered. The five of them stood in a circle around the moss-covered well, its stone rim crumbling in places, the forest unusually quiet around them. What had started as a boring Saturday afternoon hike had turned into something else entirely when they'd stumbled upon this clearing and the...

Crab house 2

Hello all! I have officially now completely revamped my crab house! My original crab house was not up to the correct standards that it should’ve been and that’s completely on me; the tank was too small, the water dishes didn’t allow for the crabs to fully submerge, there was about 3 inches of substrate, yadda yadda yadda the list goes on and my lack of correct information has been rectifi...

Feeding help!!!

I got my jumper on Sunday. The pet store didn't have any fruit flies or mealworms when I went on Monday, but they had some containers of superworms. I bought them and when I tried to cut one up to feed it to her, she didn't want to eat it. I accidentally smushed it against the wall (as seen in photo 2), and she picked up the glob of guts, and ate it. Yesterday, she sniffed the worm, and backed awa...
