Purchasing them from that store is in no way a rescue. That just gives them the funds to purchase more and continue the cycle. Same goes for buying puppies at mall pet stores. Best thing to do is let them sit there if nobody buys them then they won't supply them.

I know it sounds kind of heartless but that is the only way.

I agree,

also the tank looks fairly wide. I've seen far worse.
 
They look healthy with no visible sign of hole in the head. They should be taken care of fairly well with feeding and water changes. While the tank is small, they still have some room. I really dont know why this store is being picked on since we dont know the story behind these fish. Usually they only ask a small 'adoption fee' which really in no way covers the cost of the employee, food, water and other supplies.
 
this post...no disrespect to the poster reminds me of a HUMANE SOCIETY AD..."here's a problem!!!"...now somebody "fix it" so I feel better
 
No someone dropped them off they had a 55 gallon they weren't imported for the fish store to sell just close the thread please since no one agrees a 40 gallon breeder is messed up to keep 3 full grown oscars in. Sorry for raising the uproar didn't mean to was only mentioning because they were dropped off by a guy who had a 55 gallon and petco shoved them into the 40 breeder
