Many LFS do this sadly. Chemicals, food and other consumables are either good profit or inventory that has been sitting around too long that they are desperate to sell. Have a look at some of the older bottles on the shelves, if they have an imploded appearance it is because they are so old that the internal air/gases have slowly leaked out THROUGH the vinyl bottle of the years. Don't buy those ones for sure.

Sorry for the hijack...

On topic the hobbyists and industry need to develop a list of our hobby fish that are endangered, threatened and abundant etc. Similar to what the Canadian food stores are doing now with the fish we eat.
