I have been stewing on this since yesterday. I was at Home depot yesterday to get a new surge protector. and decided to pop in to the Petsmart next door, to check out some things. I walked into the fish area and was shocked! I have not seen anything like it since the time i found myself in fish hell at wallmart! (another story)
First off their filter system was locking up and every 45seconds or so it would unlock and make a horrible noise, then shoot a large amount of bubbles into all the tanks. Of course the fish where in all states of shock, they where colorless and all hiding at the bottom. The worst part of it all is that almost every tank had at least one dead fish in it. Some fish by the looks of them had been dead for awhile. Sad part is that most of the fish looked as if they had died of stress, no signs of outward disease like ich, popeye etc....
I really never have expected much from giant chain stores, but i do expect them to see they are killing their........money, profit. a simple turning off of the filter would have helped a lot, allowing the fish to be not so stressed.
And their plants LOL.
just had to vent. Im better now... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
