He sure is a beauty! Aurora is a pretty name, too! Good for you and shame on that worker.

Add me to the list of people with bad pet store experiences. I was working with the fish at a pet store once. This store also had the widest variety of feeshies. One woman came in wanting a male betta and I pointed out a few crowntail males and she called them all horribly ugly, etc. Luckily for one particular fish, he is now in a tank at one of my friends houses.
