i can understand why petsmart places would be bad, but I hear they have a 10 day guarantee on their fish? i think the only caveat is that you have to bring in a sample of your water to prove to them you didnt do something retarded like stick them in fresh water, etc.
I buy all my fish from the local aquarium store by my house, and they seem pretty knowledgeable... they never try to make me buy anything I dont need (of course, how the fuck would i know, considering i dont know enough to keep them alive) , and are pretty blunt and straight forward about stuff. which i appreciate...
however, I did see that one of the fish that they had, had "ich", "ick" (sp?) and all the tanks were connected. Does that mean all the fish are now contaminated ? I saw that the really expensive fish werent connceted, but all the gobies and groupers, triggers were connected though...
