stupid pet stores!

[dramaqueen]

What a jerk! I went into a petstore one time and saw a betta floating on his side at the top of his cup. I told an employee that the fish had swimbladder disorder. She picked up the cup and shook it! Then she said, theres NOTHING wrong with him!

Wal-Mart is the worst about fish!! Many things i've seen wrong with they're ways of "care"
First off they had 8 spotted puffer fish in their small aquariums, looks like maybe 5-6 gallon aquarium? Most of them if not all had practically no fins at all.. poor puffers.. Algae growing all up the walls on most tanks, and some just had filthy filthy water!! Nobody even tends to them, I felt bad for some of the glo fish and waited for a while to buy some but nobody ever came to my attention!! they were nibbling on a dead fish.. I told one lady that the puffers were in completly horrible housing and she said they'll sell soon, its okay. I was astonished to say the least but what should i expect.. My local petco is awesome with their fish. Petsmart is decent, there is one lady who is very knowledgable and cares about all the fish. some of the others arent so great.. I'll end my rant here..

yeah pet stores can be real stupid. once Lync was spitting out his food, and the dude there said that I had to only feed him once a week had I not confronted you awsome people on hwo much I was supposed to feed my buddy Lync. Had Ilistened to him I would be way under feeding him. Also, the females were getting way less water then the males!!! I mean are the males better than the females. Well I for one am not sexest (or however you spell it) to females, and I think the females should get as much water as the males.

But the good thing about petsmart, is the workers are super nice. and the fish there are always healthy, and there is always someone on duty cleaning. Also they handle their fish with care, and gentleness.

But don't get me started on our wal*CRAP, and how bad they treat their fish. I mean one time I wanted a dragon fish, and it took my mom ,and I an hour to get some STUPID CRAPY SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[doggyhog]

[Calmwaters]

This is one I don't think they are pretty at all but some people like them.

Ooooh! Those are cute! Now I want one...

Is it some type of goby? I kept googling dragon fish and ended up getting something like a viper fish, LOL. I'm pretty sure they can't sell those.
