went to the lfs the other day and I wanna say a good 80% of their fish had ick!!!!! It's kinda bad cus this store is usually so well maintained and everyone is very knowledgeable, but they're under new management and everyone is careless and looks at you like "why the f*** are you here". check out these guys, it looks like they got snowed on
You cant really see on the white guys, but wait till you see the tigers.

worst part about it is, they're like oh it's no big deal, it'll heal fast, if you buy it give it like a day and it will go away yada yada, and still trying to sell people these fish, not to mention they mix other fish with these diseased fish. It's kinda shitty.

that lfs will not last long.... displaying a fish like that is just like
wanting to close the store already.... client won't be coming back ...
unless you do not have an alternative....

Wow ...just wow

I dont know what is sadder, the fact that the fish shop is selling fish that look like that, or that people belive their shit and still buy the fish
New to the whole Oscars thing..

yep even a blind man could see thats ick, did you mention it to the shop owner? what they say?

To be fair to some shops I have known them to receive fish in poor state and some take back fish thats been poorly kept, but any shop doing this should hold quarantined stock out back

I could post some pics of the about 20 Oscars in a 30Gl tank at a lfs over here.
Badly affected by HITH, boken jaws, lethargic and all very sick.
But i won't, cause i feel sick allready...
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

Thats awful! Why do people get into the sales side of it if they aren't going to do it right? That really irritates me. I've seen way to many shop owners that don't care and treat customers like crap...why did you start this business if you feel this way? Never understood it.

The only good thing is they usually go out of business after not too long.
