I went to a local, major LFS chain, and I was shocked at what I saw. They installed new tanks about a month ago so I went in to see what they did. When I got there, it was impressive looking at first, but upon further inspection things went downhill fast. As I was browsing the fish, I noticed a couple dead ones stuck to a filter inlet, I figured this is going to happen at any LFS and continued on.
Then I noticed more and more dead fish and started counting. I stopped counting at 28 or so. It seemed like every tank had dead fish in it, but the worst was a chiclid tank and a shark tank. There was chiclids with white fuzz on them swimming around a dead one that looked like a white fuzzy ball in the tank. I mean, this fish was fuzzy. Then in a shark tank there was a ball of about 5 or 6 dead sharks floating in slow circles at the top of the tank while other fish swam around. This could not be an overnite thing.
A lot of tanks had dead fish with their eyes plucked out by other fish. I left the store. Others were noticing and commenting too. I dont know the behind the scenes operations of a LFS, but I would think the big filter for the tanks would spread this white fuzz around to all the tanks eventualy. Im not going to go back to find out.
