Sorry about this--I just have to get this off my chest!
I'm so distressed about the state in which my stores are keeping their fish! My LFS (only one here, unless you count Walmart--but let's not count them) has tanks that look pretty good--but everything I have EVER gotten there ends up getting sick within 5-6 days. Sometimes they live, sometimes they don't--I just take my chances.
So, today, I decided I'd go ahead and drive the 50 miles to the next larger town and go to Petsmart and see what they have. I get there and I was so excited to see so many fish I'd never seen in person before!! Then I notice a tank with two fish just COVERED in ich. So I browsed a little more and there were several tanks like that.
The response of an employee?? They've changed their salt vendors and haven't received the new supply yet--so that's been happening. Just unacceptable.
I can't even say I'll NEVER buy anything there--I don't have a heck of a lot of choice! Just have to buy them one at a time and QT them for life, I guess.
