If the conditions for these tangs and triggers is so bad then let them overcharge. People are probably more willing to neglect a $1.29 guppy than a $130 trigger. More likely the high price will encourage consumers to research and care for the animal. (or simply prolong its time sitting in the store.........)
I jumped from the first page to the last, sorry if the debate on that one is closed alreay.

I was at a Petcetera and they SHOULD NOT be allowed to sell any salt water fish! Their tanks are WAY to small, and thier prices are outrageous! They don't even know what the real names of the fish are (a mandarin goby was called a lawnmower blenny). They don't feed the fish proper foods(every fish gets the same flake food) I saw an anorexic picasso and I felt soooooo bad for it. When I saw that trigger, I felt like talking the the owners of the store and talk some sence into him/her.

I was recently disgusted with a petcetera also..... the floor staff working asked me if an anenome was a plant or an animal

pisces is greek for fish.
Why are folks surprised that Petco doesnt care for their fish correctly? Everytime I log on to this forum, someone new is rantingt and raving about the conditions and pricing of fish and corals at Petco. DONT GO THERE!! Simple as that. Stop buying at Petco and they will stop carrying saltwater fish because it wont be profitable. In the mean time, please stop the mock surprise, the huffy "Well I nevers", and the photo albums of your visit everytime you go there. What are you doing with a camera in Petco anyway. At least stop posting about it. Please. The same goes for Petsmart. These are dog and cat stores. Go toi a specialty shop where yopu will find healthier livestock, and better and more knowlegable service.

yes we can use our dollars to decide what the stores do, however as a counterpoint, if we stop posting about these things I don't think that helpds anybody.. perhaps the "Responsible Reefkeeping" forum should be erased as well?
