If that's the place on Oceola Parkway, I wouldn't have given them 2 cents in Chinese money for it.
My wife and I have seen some really unsafe (to say the least) practices in the way they do things there, first hand.

I would QT that fish post haste.

Just letting you know.....

I tradded a bunch of nassarius snails up there one time for some corals. I watched the woman take the container of snails and just dump them in one of their tanks, water and all. No acclimation or anything....and dumpped my water into their system.

Makes me wonder.....How many other peoples water do they do that with.
My jaw dropped and we've NEVER been back since.
