I was in the LFS today, and I was talking to Jeff, the owner, and he had just gotten off the phone with another customer. He started laughing when he got off the phone, so obviously I asked him what it was about. He told me the whole story. There was a lady who had bought a Betta from another LFS, and after a couple of weeks it developed a lump on its head. She now distrusts the other LFS, so she came to Jeff. She bought some Maracyn2, or whichever's for FW. Well, needless to say, it didn't work, and so she got a little upset. She recently called Mardel, the Maracyn producer, and talked directly to the president of Mardel, trying to figure out what was going on. To date she has spent well over $200 trying to cure the Betta. Jeff told her in the beginning to just flush it, or leave it be. As the Mardel was $6, twice the cost of the fish. She was disgusted with him. Oh well. Here's the question: Would you be more inclined to allow it to die, or spend $200 trying to save it?
