Good grief....

I took my son to the doctor this morning and noticed that the fish tank in the waiting room had quite a few fish in it (it had been empty the last couple times we were there) so naturally I wandered over to look. I certainly didn't expect to find in what I believe is a 30 gal high: 6 goldfish, 3 angelfish, two rainbow sharks, 2 pearl gouramis, 3 blood parrots, and a pleco that had to be every bit of 12 inches long! And as if that isn't bad enough, the blood parrots had ich on them.

 

OH my! you should talk to them about it....

 

I would offer to buy the tank off them personally. I've done it before, lol.

 

Divefanatic - unfortunately anything I might say would fall on deaf ears. It's all I can do to get these people to actually fax prescriptions into the pharmacy. Plus I'm not really knowledgeable enough to start a discussion like that :-\

Amanda - if only I could! Even if I could and did, I guarantee they'd just go out and buy another tank and do it all again.

 

Maybe you could print off some profiles and ich treatment?

 

In a children's waiting room? Nice, let's teach the kids about death! Unreal.

That's a good idea.

Not to mention starting the "Mommy I want a fish!" tantrum that then leads to children getting goldfish and bettas in bowls

I have to admit, seeing that pleco was pretty awesome (but sad also). I've never seen one that large in person before.
