    So I was at my local Deathco today and they had a mandarin dragonet and of course I had to inquire about it and I don't think the lady or the manager had a clue what a copepod was and said they wave frozen food in front of it with tongs to feed it. They did not seem that sure of themselves that it was eating! I hope he finds a good home...

    You know, it is truly freakin amazing how everyone calls it deathco (I happen to work there) but everything is alive until it gets to your tanks. Then when it does die, They blame PETCO.......hmmmmm

    I know---there are some bad stores--just don't bash the whole chain because of a few morons. If you knew the actual way petco "requires" them to maintain, you would have a different perspective. Your anger would be directed at the loser working there, not the store--With that said, the manager is just as guilty for not enforcing the rules.

    Closed..... Bashing petco is in violation of the 3reef user agreement. And it's pretty lame. I have also managed one many years ago. Try helping rather than complaining.
