Still Out

Surprisingly enough.
We apparently got a fish shipment in yesterday despite the fact that we were told we weren't going to. 
And among those....were betta fish! Woot!

However....we either got very few....or we sold them all the same day because when I came into work this morning there were only two bettas left on the shelf.
Which I ended up having to pull one off the floor and place it in the back because it had swim bladder issues which meant for Saturday, usually our most busy day of the week....we only had one betta for sale.

Thinking it over...I do wonder how many bettas we will get in the next little while.
Because like...I'm pretty sure we have our bettas shipped from Indonesia to Florida and then to our store. 

But like with the pandemic...I'm not sure how much international travel is happening. Or how many international shipments of product -including live animals- are occuring.

And if places are shut down.....

I won't be surprised if we continue to remain low on bettas for the next little while.

Which is...unfortunate as people are constantly coming in looking for an easy pet.
And bettas are pretty easy. 

It definitely wasn't fun to tell customers today who were gathering supplies for betta fish and such...that we didn't have any (besides the expensive glo bettas)
