This is BAD practice!

I'm sure if Ken noticed his fish were skinny he would increase feeding, most of the time every two days is fine, I've done this many times while watching over other tanks. Also a skinny fish doesn't always mean they are underfed and if it does it could have come in that way and it can take time to for it to become healthy again.

Technically speaking it's bad practice to purchase fish in bad health so who is really bad?
