By saving them all you are doing is perpetuating petco buying animals that they cant take care of....they way to save animals is NOT buying from place like that. The same theory as puppy mill puppy selling stores should be applied. Dont buy from them.

Thats not to say there aren't good petco/etcs, just don't buy from places that cant provide a proper environment.


Just my two cents

Well. This can be a very expensive hobby. Some people don't have all that cash to drop on something thayv'e never cared for before. Would I buy mic cable from a local store and pay more for it vs going to a major store. Nope. Dude wants $50 dollars for a nem. Ok. Petco has em for 25. I look at it like this, the stuff in Petco is going to have to live somewhere. Petco is not going to stop selling fish anytime soon. Why keep those beautiful creatures in those tanks? and for 25 dollars you can get a bubble and take care of it, nurse it to health even if need be. I dont know if i'd ever stop going into Petco and Petland.

I did just find a local fish store that happens to be affordable and I like the small staff. Blue star in the 60's. They charged me 20 dollars each for those misbars. I called other LFS's and they drop quotes like 75 for a black ocellaris and 60 for a false perc. C'mon, 60 dollars for a Ocellaris!! I dont think so. You can hate me now.
