    Its a time for joy, the animal activist and PITA, finally got petco to stop selling saltwater fish, birds and in some stores reptiles. I am so happy that I won't see dead anemones or floating fish or tanks filled of algea. I went to my local store and seen the tanks empty and all the birds gone. I asked a friend and she said they are no longer allowed to sell them. I can sleep better, it was so sad going in there and seeing the poor hermit staring at you through the glass with that look of help. I am so happy, all the horror is over....where is the champign!!!

    not sure if its nationwide couldn't find any info on the net, it may only be certain stores. I am not sure if petco is a chain or franchise.

    my local petco does clean there tanks every week. but there lighting does suck for holding corals and such over time. I go in on their shipping days, and got a royal gamma today before it even hit there tanks.. right out of the box/cooler.. he's looking good..

    I think that Petco stopped selling large birds a couple years back. After checking around and seeing zero announcements I am tempted to call shenanigans with out some sort of proof.
