Petco should be Ashamed

Yesterday, I went to Petco on Ave Y, Brooklyn to get some garlic extract and what I saw was horrifying. The following pics are of 2 separate fish in the same tank.

Yea, I obviously came out without getting the garlic. The tanks look clean, aside from obvious flatworm problem. I told the guy about the worms a while back, and of course nothing was done.

So horrible, i feel bad for fish that do not get the proper treatment.

I slipped up about a month ago and bought a blenny that Petco had for over a week. The damn thing died and almost took down my entire tank with it. What's the deal with that place?

its sad they don't care. Stop looking in there tanks an thinking about buying from them because complaining will not do anything with this establishment. unfortunately there is nothing we can do to help these poor animals. if we stop buying guess what they will stop selling.

And that is why we dont shop there.

Call cooperate or email them with a pic. Send the pic to some animal groups even though i cant stand them LOL.

People either dont have time, dont want to get in to this (why get in the hobby to begin with), or are simply lazy.
