They're all from either PetSmart or Petco. I don't like supporting them but I can't help taking home ones that are sick or have been there for months. They've become very beautiful and healthy little ladies and I'm so proud of them

I'm the same way-- I hate supporting petco/petsmart but the fish is going to die without any help. thank you for being a kind human and saving those girls 💙

I stole half my sorority from PetSmart. I don't like supporting them but I feel so bad for the fish. One was a little sick dumbo for $25 there was no way anyone was going to buy a sick fish for that, even I couldn't. So I slipped her in my Fanny pack 😂 oh also she's doing better now.

As someone who works in a petstore this doesn't help anyone. U guys actually get all the employees in the store in trouble. Corporate blames the employees so ur actually hurting ur fellow working class people.

That's what the owner class wants you to believe. They are the only ones responsible for their cruel practices, not us.

But they blame the employees. So it REALLY isn't a win/win for anyone.
