Hi Ava,
Yes it bothers me too-the opening sentence on that page alludes to it
being of the utmost importance to no keep Goldfish with tropical fish while
promoting keeping them in bowls. This is exactly the sort of half baked
information that leads to the death of thousands of these beautiful fish
every year, you notice that all the photos accompanying that article are
most definitely NOT taken in bowls.
It goes on to say that most of their fish are pond raised-even worse then,
to put a creature that is used to the space of a pond into the confines of
a bowl. I will have a read through it more thoroughly tomorrow & see how
many more errors it contains-it is really not in the best interests of the
store to give out misleading & damaging information, especially as the
majority of buyers will probably be impressionable kids. I will get in
touch & politely set them straight on a number of issues. Depending on
their response [if I get one] we will see whether they set profit above
cruelty but I think we already know the answer to that one unfortunately.
