pet store feeder fish conditions are just horrid. I have a friend who works in the fish section of a petco, she says they loose over 30 feeder fish per tank per day, basically just because of the extremely poor conditions. I saw her count and pull 42 dead feeders for a tank in the midday fishy count before.
They are just feeder fish, fish that are bread as food, but while they are still alive, they deserve better treatment then that. Now, I'm not some PETA member, I don’t care if products were tested on animals and I love to eat fish, but still, no one likes to see conditions like that for any animal. At least gulp gave them a good life before letting them fulfill their destinies.
My aquarium set up is um... pathetic. I don't even have a case for it. It sits on a very sturdy oak dresser, which I know can hold its weight, but its not a very pretty display. I'm not in the mood to spend a few hundred on an aquarium, though. I have car payments to worry about.
