Most disappointing Livestock Purchase?

[daniella3d]

The damn pet store in Boleil, Quebec (TD zoo) is selling things that are impossible to keep alive and they don't tell you that..so this is the worst store I know and the owner is supposed to be a biologist! go figure!

Worst buy ever were made at that store, one blueberry gorgonian and one orange sponge, both paid around 50$ and they died in a few weeks. I was told they just need some food in the water and they would do well...The blueberry gorgonian is impossible to keep alive for more than a few months and the orange sponge the same.

I also bought a flame scallop at that store and that is still alive after 10 months, surprising. I was told they were easy to keep..yeah right. I need to feed it a lot to keep it alive for so long.

So that was 100$ in the garbage, or how we would say in French, 100$ à l'eau.

I wanted to hear some of your guys most disappointing live stock purchases? It could be because of the price, the interest level of the livestock you bought or whatever.

I havent bought any yet so I cant comment haha
