Some of the Canadian PetSmart stores sell marine fish. One I was in had a Scopus and a Powder Blue and both looked like they had been cyanide caught because they were emaciated. No ich in the tanks but what difference does it make if you starve to death first. I guess we have to make a decision in keeping these animals. That decision first is to either spend the money and try to give the best environment for them we can afford or don't do it. Its not fair to the animals. Second we need to send a strong message to stores by supporting only the ones that actually care for the animals. In this case that means not buying at PetCo or PetSmart for anything fish related or otherwise. They are happy to sell products to better care for your pet all the while torturing helpless animals. Its just not right and should not be tolerated by our financial support. I don't make any distinction between this and a common puppy mill !
