I think that those poor fish who die slow painful deaths in store tanks deserved a memorial for them. Feel free to mention any fish you've seen and wish their souls well.

My dear green spotted puffers at walmart, I shed a tear for you everytime I go there. You are full of internal parasites and kept in freshwater, and are so sickly that taking you home would be pointless, as you'd die within days. My heart aches for you, little puffers.

Little cup bettas, too often have I gone into the petco to see that half of you are floating dead in your cups. And too many of you will soon be dead. Here's to you, little fellahs.

Little african dwarf frog, I saw you floating around in petco's tank, with only a skeleton remaining on half your body. It made me so sad to see that.

All of you dead fish I always see stuck to the filter intakes, I feel for you. Martyrs so that we can keep fish, and mistreated because the dealers can. Bless your souls.

I've shed a tear for you all.

Thank you for letting me get this off my chest a bit everyone.

That is so sweet of you. I totally understand how you feel. I also feel so bad for the dead fish in the LFS when I am there and think of the life they may have had if the conditions were right. How their short lives.. so full of hope are crushed in a minute. It is very sad....
You are very compassionate to feel this greatly for them

This should be added to the "you know you're fish crazy when" thread.
You know you're fish crazy when you start crying when you think about the puffers at walmart.

Yea, I almost hate to go to the fish tanks because that is always so sad to see and I feel like taking them all home, if only I could give them all a home.
