This past week I guess....
our local Petsmart began carrying Discus...
They have "royal discus" at nearly 40 bucks and "discus" at 34.
The "royal" they had was about 3 inches and full colored. 8O
And any of those that speak discus 24/7 know what that means....
(means someone will probably have an ugly fish in about 2-3 months, if it lives so long)
Man what a disaster waiting there ..they are in the shared system with other fish and no telling how well they were treated for yuk before arrival.
And yesterday they had1+ dead fish in every tank but 6 and the carp kept hitting the floor. They had three different koi thrash until they came over and out. That can't be good.
As I watched them unpacking betta straight to the shelves (no fresh water for you air breather! that blue stuff will last ya) from the shipping box, I felt that righteous rage reach boiling point. Poor Dem things! I took my sister elsewhere for all her fish but the platys now under strict QT.I'll post her tank.
She has 2 jade guppies and two red wag platys in a bowl
jkg: in a 10 gallon that I took my filter out of an established tank and 50 % changeout water(7 gallons) that was 0/0/.20 and traded the new exact one she bought.My tank has a sand substrate as well and 3 fish in a 20 long, ,so my betta won't feel the difference very much. She will test Day 3, Day7 and Day9. More if anything looks suspicious. She wants a 55 gallon later with red, yellow and black community mindeed fish
