its awful how the breeders keep them? the people with way more experience than us? i think its fine as long as the tank is atleast 1 gallon, heated and clean
its like quarantining a fish, keeping them in something a little out of there range for a short amount of time. you would never do it long term but its fine for how long its expectancy in the store is, I dont see why you are boycotting any pet stores
