    New fish again

    I got a male comet for my birthday. He's got the recessive calico gene like chilli's fantail. He's about 5 inches so hopefully that's a good sign that he's survived to adulthood with the defect. He has red streaks in his fins so he's being treated for septicemia.
    I lost two stores in my list of stores I will shop in. Petsuppliesplus continues to have horrible care in their new pet section and just pets got a new manager who doesn't know a thing about fish. He really talked down to me today too and didn't say a thing when I mentioned the fish having red streaks right in front of him. Had I not known anything about fish I sure wouldn't have been informed to treat it. And this was one of my favorite stores.

    Congrats on your new fish. I hope he does well. I too, am shocked by some of the people working in our petstores! I know more than some of them do, and I don't know that much! The last time I bought a fish in Petsmart the girl told me she put a male and female betta together and they didn't get along, so she had to separate them! I didn't say a word.

    Congradulations on your new fish!
    Too bad those two petstores you mentioned aren't worth anything. Its the same way with ALL the petstores around here with the exception of two.

    Nope, I need names for three girls and the boy yet. If you've got suggestions...
