LFS problems

[Rockbass6]

I had a 20 inch ck named Hank. I couldn't afford to buy his new tank due to family emergencies, so I made arrangements to bring him up to the Big Al's by my house to be put in their display tank (thing must have been 5000 gallons). When I went back to check on him the next day, I found him in a sale tank, nose half torn off, tail GONE, and looking half dead. I started bawling crying immediately. I took him home the next day, and unfortunately he didn't make it.

What they did, was wait till closing time before they remembered they had him acclimating, dumped him in, turned off the lights, and left, without monitoring the other fish in the tank. Bastards.

Yea guys I don't think anyones topping that! Sorry for the loss, I was thinking about making a trip to a big al's because I've heard how wonderful they are.I love my one local fish store they are a little pricey but take extremely good care of their fish and tanks. It looks like they clean them daily.

Which tank did they put it in? The 5000 gallon is the shark tank and the other two are 2700 gal displays, one FW and one SW. Did they take the little fish out of the FW one recently?

Ok so 2700 gallons, but still a big enough tank for him. No, the africans are still breeding like crazy in there, I guess they just leave them in for food. I figured it would be a plus, considering how much he loved the "chase". I'll never buy from there again unless it's absolutely neccesary. :/
