I went to the local ***** over the weekend to have a look around and was completely horrified by what I saw...
A new batch of saltwater fish and inverts had just been brought out of the back and was placed in front of a large tank. Immediately, the MANAGER of the department opened the box and one by one, started adding the new stock to the tank in the following manner. He merely opened the bags and poured the contents of each into a large net, then dumped the fish/inverts into the tank. No drip, no adding water to each bag...he didn't even temperature acclimate the bags!
I couldn't believe what I was seeing and didn't think that it was my place to say anything but, then I saw him add a purple lobster the same way, and it literally floated to the bottom of the tank on its back and stayed like that.
I was so upset I had to say something. So, I asked him if they were acclimated in the back, knowing full well they weren't! His answer..(mind you he's the MANAGER of the department)..."I'm too busy for that. They'll either make it or they won't. It's just life."
Can anyone believe this??? :nope:
