Where can I buy a healthy betta fish?

[LizConnell]

I want to buy a betta fish, I have a four gallon tank in my bedroom with the food and heater and filter. The nearest pet store is a family owned buisness and there is a Petsmart where my aunt lives i was wondering should i buy from petsmart or the family pet store. The family pet store is great and cares for their animals the store is always clean and the bettas are happy. Should i?

Yes. Buy the fish at the family pet store.

If you are sure the family own pet store is safe for the animal, and reliable, i would go with them. I would rather support small family run businesses then the large company chains.
