Fishaholic
I have a situation that pretty much prevents me from buying anything from most pet stores. I have pet rats, and they are very delicate creatures that are sensitive to diseases brought in from other rodents. Every LFS in town (even the ones within a reasonable distance) sell rodents. To prevent my rats from getting deadly diseases, if I visit a pet store with rodents, I have to wait at least 3 hours before going home. This means that if I bought a fish from a pet store, it would be in the bag for at least 3 hours. (More then that when getting acclimated to the tank.) Therefore I usually buy my fish from Wal-Mart, as they sell no rodents and I can go directly home.
Not the best solution, but what else can I do?
(Open to ideas. Are fish ok being in the bag for over three hours?)
What?
