To Rescue or Not to Rescue? I'm in the process of cycling a ten gallon tank, and today I went to petco to grab supplies for my mice. Because I love torturing myself, I checked on the bettas and tore my heart apart. There was a poor male lying on the bottom of his cup, pale, his body curved, and barely reactive. 

I'm so conflicted. I don't know if I should keep to my commitment not to support Petco's sale of bettas and buy from my LFS when my tank is ready, or if I should do the best I can to give this guy a better life, even if he only last a couple of days. 

I really would love some opinions and insight into this :(
