I went to petco in little 5 today to "browse"
all the salt water tanks are covered in
red slime algae and I saw a poor coral banded who was actually red from the slime growing on him.
As I moved down the line, I saw a whole tank full of dead yellow tangs, maybe 7 -10 dead and two live ones gasping.
In the tank were two dead neon gobys too.
next tank......a handful of dead
tomato clowns and 3 or 4 on their death beds, gasping and floating sideways....AARGH!!!
As I moved along, my disgust turning to anger....I saw a little post-it-note on a small tank w/ a large dead fish (I forgot what it was) lying on its side that read "not for sale, medication in process"
this was so sad to see all the dead fish from lack of quality care.
I asked to speak w/ the manager and she was out...I asked to speak w/ the salt water attendant, he had gone home for the day.......
I pleaded w/ an employee to let me take a few tangs or anything I could home and attempt to nurse them to health but, like any big petstore, no "freebees" Even though I bet ya theyre all dead today...
