So I've been shopping fish supplies a lot lately to get a new tank up and running. Today I was at a Petsmart with my dad. Then I looked down the aisle and saw on the floor in front of the tanks a fish flopping on the floor. I was horrified and wanted to just pick the poor thing up and toss him in a tank but I didn't know where he had come from.
Of course there were no employees to be found. So I went up to a cashier and told her a fish had 'escaped,' and was flopping on the floor. She seemed scared and got someone rather quickly. We went back to where the poor fish was and my dad was walking back at the same moment. He said, "Oh look, there's another one now!"
Sure enough, there were two fish flopping on the floor at that point. The man got a net and picked them both up carefully. He seemed genuinely concerned as he said, "Oh, I don't know if that one's going to make it." I'm just glad I saw the poor fish when I did. I don't know how long it had been there on the floor.
I also heard recently that at a lfs, a fish got dropped, and they kicked it off away! They won't be getting my business.
