I don’t know very much about fish and me and my boyfriend decided to set up a tank and get some. I assumed going to the pet store and asking some questions would help me figure out which fish I wanted and how to care for them. I really like the male guppy’s so I got 2 of those & a red male betta and asked the lady if they would all be okay together. She told me it’d be fine (yes, I should’ve done a google search) so I bought them all and took them home. Immediately I noticed the guppies were scared to swim on the bottom, the more I watched I noticed the beta quickly swimming towards one every few minutes and scaring the little guppy’s because they’d quickly swim away and hide in a corner. I googled if male beta fish and male guppies aren’t getting along what would best resolve the issues. Google immediately told me male betas and male guppies don’t belong together. The beta would kill my guppies. I’m very disappointed in this pet store, I figured it’d probably be a little cheaper and easier than running around petco searching for an employee but I’m almost sure petco would’ve honestly told me those fish don’t belong together rather than wanting to sell a fish (that I honestly felt bad for, poor beta had straggly thin fins and was barely moving when I picked him out) . I have given the beta away and honestly just want back the $5 I spent on a beta (especially when i’m sure petcos betas are actually cheaper and MUCH better condition) the lady there knew would the beta kill/injure my other fish (and if she didn’t she shouldn’t have been there alone running the store). I wouldn’t recommend going here unless you’re sure what you need & maybe check prices somewhere else. In the last picture you can see the beta ready to scare one of the guppies.

The last mom and pop full line Pet Store left in the area. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and caring about your needs. Very easy location to find and cators more towards the first time bird/freshwater fish owner. Excellent source for reptile food too.

Hi there. I am a customer so sadly I can only help so much. I, myself did not see any frogs there but then again I wasn't exactly looking for them. I'm sure they have them though as they mainly deal in small critters like that. I would give them a call, the woman working there is always happy to help!

I know they are venomous and very fast. The venon isn't deadly to humans. Yes they are endangered do to deforestation of there habitat in India. Most of the spiders are captive raised. They are very rare in the wild. I did research it a little. Thinks for the help.
