It is not Petco's fault that you did not follow standard quarantine procedures and lost a bunch of other fish.

Just to add my two cents worth about Petco.

The local one near me has supplied me with two marine critters that survive to this day. They have been ideal purchases. The marine tanks at this store are always well maintained, and I have even been denied a purchase because the animals had only been in the tanks for two days and the fish guy was not ready to sell them for at least two more days, so that he could fully observe them. I know this is not typical of Petco nationwide, but it does happen and I don't think we should tar and feather every store in ther chain based upon local bad practices. As with any fish purchase, it is up to the buyer to evaluate the specimen prior to purchase and provide the proper care thereafter.
