that sux dude, sorry to hear it. Hope it doesn't put a damper on your enthusiasm for the hobby. thats just horrible! im so sorry about your loss.
we have one petstore in my rinkidink town-Petland. Their fishcare is lacking horribly, tanks constantly have ick, and just poor stock in general-and they give out bad info on compatibility. i feel bad for people who go in there and just mix every kind of fish, and the people working the fish department dont even try to offer them correct info or point them in the right direction..

hey man i used to go there every sunday untill 2 sundays ago. i absloutly hate that place the people there are so rude its unbeliveable! i had 1500 cash in my pocket to buy a 220 gal tank (just the tank and tops) and javier came over to me and asked if i needed anything . i said ya how much is a 220 gal with tops . he said let me check . so we walked to the computer and he said we only have a 210 and its 795 OTD . i said well whats the next biggest size you have ? then i was rudly intrupted by some girl who works there asking javier if what he wants something from wendys...so i sat there for about 30 seconds while they were figuring out what they wanted. finaly after about 30 seconds of them (by now all the employes ) debaiting on what they wanted. i just turned around and went to look at some fish. javier never or anybody else for that matter never said crap too me for the next 5 minutes . so i left the store and never came back..this has happened evertime i go in there never get asked if i need any help.so needless to say im looking for a new lfs that has a good selection in tampa ..anybody know any?
Heh, don't these stores realize they're competing with the internet? I mean they've got to provide something special for walk-in customers - or at least some decent service.
to the OP, sorry to hear about your losses... but its exactly stories like this that make me think twice about giving any LFS any of my fish to take care of or other wise...
Because about a month ago my Female Palembang Puffer laid eggs so i obviously had to go shopping for some brine shrimp eggs etc... so i went to this one store that was near me which i knew had some palembangs so i thought i would drop by to see their puffs and pick up the food there... Any way, upon getting in i noticed that their palembang tank was disgusting, with lights all off, tank algae all over the place and a few dead tetras at the bottom, which was NOTHING like what it looked like just a few weeks before when i first went there...
So my first thought was naturally poor puffers looked really beat and sickly, but i wasn;t prepared to take any more home with me since i don't have the space, nor do i want to take care of, or support buying sick fish... so i just asked for the brine shirmp eggs and paid... at this point, the owner asked me what the eggs were for, so i explained to him the situation, and he actually had the nerve to say tell me, if i needed any one to help un-load those puffers, he'd help me out!!!
I mean seriously what would make him even THINK for a second i would give up any of my young puffers to him... so i basically paid for the food then said, thanks but considering the shape of your puffs right now, i think i'll unload my own fish to make sure they don' just all die and suffer...
