Amen Brad. I have seen fish laying on thier side, gasping like they were in death throws. I thought wow that thing is dead. The manager told me She thought it would come around. 2 days later the fish in the same tank, still in acclimation were up eating and swimming around fine. One of those fish is now in thier display happy and healthy.
I would much rather go to a store and see sick/stressed fish that the store is trying to bring around rather then 100% clean tanks. 100% clean does not mean thier fish are perfect, it just means you don't know how much they are hiding.
Throwing a live fish in the garbage rather then trying to help it IMO, I couldn't stomach that.
Hope everyone reading this learns a thing or two about how stores work.
