Thank you and yes it was absolutely very sad. I ended up getting in touch with animal control, my local DNR, and my state (MD) Department of Health. The MD department of health was incredibly helpful and compassionate. One of their veterinarians contacted my local animal control supervisor. They went back out to the location but unfortunately this establishment has actually passed the minimum requirements for operation and selling freshwater/saltwater fish. It seems that mainly they pass because there are no immediate dangers to other animals or the human community. I still find it incredibly distressful that the fish in this store have to live their lives in these conditions. I was also informed that some of the water quality looks poor because the owners of the establishment try to keep the water as similar to the water the fish would live in in their natural environments. And I guess the mold and algae growth was still within acceptable standards. I know this store once sold birds but that license was revoked so it doesn't bode well for these fish. Long story short with these fish being intended as pets and still being considered pretty low on the food chain as far as deserving of animal rights, there's not much more that can be done legally. But the veterinarian I spoke with from the MD department of health said that at least this place is now on the radar a bit more for local animal control and local health standards. It just seem like a situation where the business isn't making money, the owners are depressed and have lost their passion and compassion for these creatures and now just see them as dollar signs. Very sad. I'll post a few photos just to see what everyone thinks. These are just the tip of the iceburg.
