I go to this particular Petco for my feeders, etc.
I’ve known for months that this coral beauty has been in display for a loooong time. It was selling for like $70 usd.
Today I went there to get feeders and grocery shopping (next door). I noticed the coral beauty tag wasn’t on there anymore. They also just hired this guy, he didn’t even have a Petco shirt on, no tags, he even answered a personal call while helping me, wtf.
Anyway, I ask what the price is and since there’s no tags he defaulted to assorted damsels 9.99.
I quickly ask him to bag it up. * this was my mistake.
Check out, go home, temp acclimate and notice the fish playing dead. I didn’t know coral beauties play dead.
Bring in groceries and etc, I went to check and he was still playing dead.
Huh…
Dude at the Petco f*king grabbed a bag full of freshwater and netted the coral beauty into a 30 minute freshwater dip…
45 minutes later he’s breathing hard and managed to swim to the other side of the tank… will update as we go.
