You know, I was going to ask where the members of this group get their fish. The local independent store here went out of business several years ago or else I would go there. There are a couple of Petsmarts nearby (for me nearby means 30 to 45 miles away) but both have dirty tanks and dead fish. I did find a Petco where I have been buying my fish and they seem to be pretty knowledgeable and so far the biggest threat to my fish has been me, I tend to over feed.
