#poor beta

Beta as Persephone/Proserpine - based on Rossetti's painting

Went to the store to get something for my car and saw this poor neglected beta and I literally started crying and didn’t stop till I got to my car. I got him, a small tank for him and some gravel and took him home, I already have a beta fish so I didn’t need any food. His name is shiro cuz he deserves better than he’s gotten out of his life and he’s already getting his color back and he’s happily swimming around his new home!!! I don’t care if he’s just a fish he deserves to be happy and healthy no matter what and I hate to see any animal neglected. His cup was filled with dirty water that he could barely move around in and I had to tap the cup to keep him from going belly up. I was so worried that he’d die before I got him home. If you ever see a fish like this please do something. Tell a worker, buy it, get it some damn food and feed it yourself. Pet stores and retail stores that don’t take care of fish are just as bad as owners who don’t take care of them. So please do something if you see a poor baby like this.
