porcupine puffers are awesome. but the guy keeps bettas. Something tells me he isn't ready to invest in a saltwater system.

It makes me very happy to see someone have so much passion for another life-form. Any life form!
Too many humans just don't care - Petsmart will no longer get my business.

Yeah because you can blame an entire corporation on what the employees do at the individual stores.

Quite often, yes. Better corporate policy would prevent that sort of shit from happening.

If you really need a reason to hate petsmart, i have one.
I got a kitten 2 years ago. My kitten had the shits(as kittens sometimes do) and my GF was worried. we took the kitten to Banfield pet hospital (inside of Petsmart). We picked up the kitten 7 hours later. he was covered in piss and shit, and shivering uncontrollably. They give us some probiotic bullshit to mix into his food. 2 days later, the kitty is shitting everywhere still, and won't drink water or eat much. I take the kitten to an actual Vet who tells me that the cat has an upper respiratory infection, and probably has been sick for weeks. Real Vet gives me some antibiotics, cat gets better rapidly, all is well. I head back over to Petsmart to ream out the Banfield Vet and get my 230 bucks back. The Banfield people tell me i'll have to take it up with the head doctor who (of course) is not in at the moment. The head doctor dodges me for 2 weeks before i go to the Petsmart GM and demand that Petsmart take care of me. The GM informs me that Petsmart does not guarantee the services of Banfield because even though Banfield operates inside of Petsmart, the two companies are seperate entities. I tell the GM that i have 4 aquariums and 2 cats, and that if he doesn't take care of me, i'll be making my weekly shopping trips at Petco from now on. He tells me that he's sorry to hear that, but that he won't be refunding my 230 bucks.
I haven't been to Petsmart since, and i never will.

Petsmart usually takes pretty bad care of their animals. I have bought a parakeet from them, and it wasa in really unhealthy conditions and was sick. I've even seen a dead bird in the cage that was left for at least a few hours 
Plus the larger parrots are always alone, and no one interacts with them. Petsmart sucks, I'd work there just to make it better for the animals.

I went to homedepot like yesterday, and there was a pet smart right next to it, anyway for some reason as soon as I saw the big bold letters "pet smart" on the top front of the big ole building I immediately thought, "man that store is way too big for pets", and there are like a ton of them all around the country.
Fucken corporations man, fucking up the ecosystem.
Anyway, vote for me and I promise no more pet smart.

One of my fish was a tiny little moray eel. About the size of a number2 pencil. I used to smear shrimp on my finger and he would nip it off. My wife did it once. She has much smaller fingers than I do and he got around it. She freaked and yanked her hand back and he went flying. I got him back in the tank no worse for wear but now I can tell people that my wife was attacked by a moray eel in her own house. His name was Cecil. He was the only fish we ever named. In college I had a tiny tank with a betta that my grilfriend named Rael.

One of my first fish was a pleco. I grew him up from a 1.5 incher to about 18 inches. I thought that he was big and tough enough to go into a small pond in my backyard. He wasn't. The temp swings were too much for him, and he died and turned into goo. R.I.P Commander Plecotay

I hate it when people provide inadequate care for all animals, but I see it so much with fish. The way people treat bettas is outrageous. They need at the very least a 2.5 gallon tank, preferably 5 if not larger, and they need a heater and a small filtration unit to be healthy. People complain they're boring, but they're usually just sick from their living conditions. Gold fish really shouldn't be kept in goldfish bowls either, they really need much much larger setups - especially if there's more than one to thrive, as well as filtration.
People don't bother to learn. And petsmart employees are payed minimum wage and are normally just kids who know the bare minimum and aren't taught enough about proper animal care to provide it or teach others.
On another interesting note, people will release their goldfish in the wild, I've seen them sometimes diving in freshwater, and they mostly thrive there.

...never saw one that big though.

I never thought I'd be scared of goldfish, but that one is scary. What would a big gold fish like that eat?
