Was in the Union Sq. area yesterday and managed to get my friends to let me visit.
It smelled fine, and the displays were clean. Unfortunately, there are 3 main SW tanks about 48" long, 12-15" high (I guess like a 33g long or such?) with 8 yellow tangs that were 4-6 inches long, 3 clown triggers, and 8-10 other fish including a reg puffer, dog face puffer, 2 baby hippos and powder blue tang.
And one near dying puffer.
No ich spotted yesterday in the SW, but 2 columns of FW fish full of it.
What hurts is that while I'm educating my friends about what's going on LOUDLY, the folks near/around me are still wooing over the fish and figuring out what to buy.
I made sure I added: Well, some people might say, let's pay and rescue them! But that only looks like Petco is doing a good job, getting in the right type of fish. So to them it's like MORE 6 Inchers!!! Don't worry about the high in-store mortality rates! Just teach the customers a 'ich-fixer upper' and they will be fine when they realize they have it (cause we dont show pics of the stuff, just hand you a 'bottle cure' and a recipe for death).
Sorry, a bit emo today, but you get my point
-edit, btw there was no coral in the overpacked fish tanks and they were near out of 8$ lb 'lr'
