Fish from Petco

[tc2007]

So how many of you have had bought fish from Petco and found illness after putting them either in QT or in the DT? Specially a well established DT.

Why would you put any fish in the display tank without quarantine?

I guess that is why I do not have plague and pestilence in my DT. Coincidence I think not.

Working on the QT.

The fish at both of the Petcos near me are visibly ill. I would never purchase anything from them.

The fish at the one where I go are always healthy looking and active etc. I haven't really seen more than 1 dead fish in the tank there. But the amount of livestock they get and sell daily, I would not be surprised if many of them are sick / or caught by unfair means and have a low chance of survival.
