So on sunday I went to petco to get some filter inserts and to see if they had any black phantom tetras for my 40 gallon sorority.
Around the time we were about to leave I was looking at the guppy, molly, and I think platy (I don't remember off had) "community" display. And I was mentioning to my mom how I wanted them more in the sense that I would if I could. Then the person working their came up and asked if we needed help and my mom said yes and that I wanted on of these fish (referring to the guppies and mollies) and without thinking about it and that combined with impulse I ended up buying one.... Grumble.:evil:
My question is, I know its said that mollies are bullies and tend to fin nip, but Id feel bad bringing her back to petco. If it was a clean nice store that took good care of their fish I wouldn't have a problem but since their tanks aren't the cleanest and ive seen a handful of dead fish and I don't really want to put her back in that situation. So would it be ok to try her in the sorority tank? If it works out and her and the girls get along then she can live with them or if she doesn't then im willing to bring her back.
Or do you think its best to bring her back any way. Im leaning on bringing her back anyway because im mad at my self for getting her in the first place but I would at least try to give her another option.
Anyways what do you think?
