Did anyone else feel like they were in a prison yard with the video cameras every 2 feet from each other all around the store?
There saltwater section still sucks and is sad i think....They still put them in those tiny tanks

U would think with a new store they would have upgraded the tank sizes but i guess not....

The tanks are tiny, the tanks are filthy, the tanks are full of dead livestock... Same ol pisces, just in a nicer wrapper.

Tiny tanks are never good, especially in a store that sells puppies. I would think any reefer with a conscience would boycott a store selling puppies. Not that this thread is about that, but it should be a consideration when dealing with any pet store. Poor puppies.....

So you are saying i lack a conscience then, because i strongly support some stores that sell puppies. Thanks guy. Can you feel in the ill-informed judgemental love?

I was at Pisces on the Thursday that it had opened. Didn't see any dead fish at least in the SW tanks I was looking at. Honestly I thought the store looked great and had no problem with the tank sizes. They had a combination of larger and smaller tanks. The tanks didn't look any smaller than the ones I see at Golds....

To qualify my statement, yes, if the store is working with a rescue, and the dogs "showcase" at the store for exposure, and otherwise live in foster care, sure. If the store is buying litters from backyard or puppy mill breeders, cramming them in little boxes, hindering normal developmental behaviour all to make a profit, then no. Not that this thread is about that..

Yes you lack conscience.

Wow what happened to this thread?

well here is my 2 cents, walked in and still not impressed with the salt water section. you can tell they rushed it. numberious species and over populated tanks, clowns fighting, so on and so forth. once again its a last resort place and to buy cheap tanks, thats it.

as for backyard breeding, i would gladly save a life of a dog rather than have it put down. i try not to think that things like that happen but it does. as for a rescue being $400, thats cause they are fixed and up to date with shots. pet stores don't make money on them, just to pay the vet bills and give the dog an oppertunity for a good home
