Upset & Disgusted

youngfisher · May 11, 2009

Well I have tried litrally all of my LFS and im not happy with them at all. I found a new one today and got quite happy thinking it would be good. Walked in saw a small tank with a mixture of Glowlight Tetras, Dwarf Puffers and BETTAS!

And some of the tanks where terrible!

Think I will just have to settle for the 30 minute drive up to the A5.

the fact that everything was alive is a good sign

we have all seen ones that we think are absolutley beyond belief BUT those fish are in there as a temp measure till they get sold, i hope that the staff would move them if it goes on for longer. im not saying you have or will, but dont go looking for perfection when looking at fish shop, cos u wont find it, there will usually be very few sick, even a few dying/dead fish in a few tanks, of cousre any more than that would be unacceptable, but they are running a business and they dont have 15 hands each

this is not to say that staff arnt totally dedicated.. just with most things... not enuff time or hands.

you will find one that you love tho.. we all do

Hi youngfisher

The best think you can do is to take your business elsewhere. Don't by food, equipment or other things from them either. If enough people do that, they will learn their lesson the hard way.
