Fish Fanatic
Every single time i go to pets at home and i also have heard this from others from different locations that they often have many tanks closed to "treat" and at one stage they shut off all livestock selling.
But today, because it was close i decided to pop in and spotted some Honey Gourami which i liked.
i was informed that 3/4 of the tanks were unsellable due to treatment so luckly mines was not but i chose 4 but the guy never let me pick my own, bagged them and sold me them, i couldnt check the fish because he had triple bagged them.
Got them home, introduced them to them and again because of the bags, i could not see them very well but i let them all into the tank and they all went their seperate ways.
I kept seeing 3 of them but one was always missing until i saw him on the ground, on his tummy but slightly to the side, i just let him sit there, i have seen it before and they often recover.
I let them settle in and i went off to do some chores and came back and again only 3 were viewable but i just happened to find the other fish in the corner, on his side on the ground.
He was still breathing and when a fish nudged him he would scoot about the tank as if nothing was wrong but would end up going back to the ground and to his side.
I decided that something was wrong and i put him in a beta tank incase he was being bullied only to find he had late stages of pop eye and his left eye is gone!!!
Now hes just lying in the beta tank on his side, still breathing and when nudged he will scoot about but im so mad at P@H.
Have they been told off for selling diseased fish or something?
My mother bought a pleco a while back and got it home and found out it was covered in ich, luckly she quarentined it and cured it.
not best pleased!

) that hasn't got one or two either dead or distressed fish in their tanks. Doesn't necessarily earn them the title of a poorly run shop.
