I've just been to the local pet store , for bird seed ! And as usual I'd have a look at the fish while I was there, to my disgust there was no aeration or movement of water in 80% of the tanks and the fish were so lethargic and gasping air at the top of the water so I grabbed a member of staff and explained that with a combination of this heat and lack of oxygen these poor fish were going to die pretty soon :( she replied oh I just sell the fish the man who looks after them is off sick.. So I set about explaining if there is no oxygen blah blah blah... I think she got the idea .. She was off to tell someone else , unfortunately the manager wasn't there or he would have really got a ear bashing from me ! As I left 30 mins later she was telling someone else who was going to phone the man who usually looks after them.... Jeeez give me the job :) so I'm off back tomorrow to make sure the fish are ok ! If not the manager is in for it !

Unfortunately this is the only pet store in my area, the others are worse and a lot further away ...I think it's the Spanish way , they just don't seem to give 2 hoots about animals in general ! Apologies if there are any fish/animal loving Spanish members, but if there are you are a minority and I wish there were more like you ..

Rant over :/
