Petcetera

[SJSobczyk]

I know that there has been certain topics pop up about these guys but i think its time we actually get something done.

Last night i was at the SE location of Petcetera and i couldnt believe the conditions of their SW fish. One yellow tang was already dead and it looked as though it was floating around for at least a couple of days. A second yellow tang, which i will most likely go and save tonight, was severly skinny and it looks as though it didnt have too much longer to go. They had a couple other damsels, firefish that did not look healthy as well. The overall apprearance of the tanks wasnt too bad, fairly clean, but the cubicles they keep the fish in are way too small.

I had some screaming kids so i did not have a chance to talk to the manager, but something needs to be voiced about this.

Throw them an email and lets see if there is any response about this.

The best way to do anything is with your wallet... if you save the tang it will be replaced with another.

Recommend that you don't buy that tang too. Waste of your money & sends the store the wrong message.

I know, i know, but it just looked so sad. Its one of those moral decisions.

I agree with not buying it... but at the same time, I agree with buying it, haha.... I mean, save an animal if we can, right? Yes, you send the wrong message... but, not if we speak up, key word is WE. As we all know that one person talking to them has little or no effect. This has been brought up a few times, I think once by myself... it's really just .... disgusting the way they keep SW livestock IMO.

There is a store in my area, with such revolting SW tanks. I can't even begin to explain it. Dead / decomposing anenomes floating in the tanks where just some of the things I saw before I disgustedly walked out vowing never to return.
