If a PET store doesn't know specific requirements about PETS that they sell, then they should not be selling them. Don't make excuses for them Chandler04. It's as simple as that. Look at it this way. If a restaurant didn't know the specifics about making a certain food, they would not offer that food on their menu. This is the same way pet stores should be. The problem in this theory is that there are not enough knowledgeable people in the pet industry so these pet chains like ***** and PetSmart hire people just to have bodies working in the fish section because as most people think: "eh, it's just a fish. How much care does it really need anyway?"...
Until there are more intelligent people available to work at these places, you will run into this problem. You can look at it from a animal's perspective or a business owners perspective. The business owner knows about the fish, but he can't be in every section at once. Thus, he has to hire people just to stand in these sections and sell things. He probably does not want to hire these people, but sometimes, it's a last resort. I think the best solution to this problem is for these chain stores just to stop offering fish. Pet chains should leave it to the local fish stores to handle the sales of fish because most pet chains do it very improperly and probably lose a lot of money anyways.
