FWIW... if you ever need/want to get fish again, see if you have a local petsmart you can go to. Not only are the fish kept in much better conditions, and USUALLY (YMMV, of course) more knowledgable employees... but they[petsmart] also has a 14 day guarantee...if the fishies "pass away" or even get sick within the 14 days, you can bring it back w/ a reciept for a full refund.

No, I didn't work for petsmart for 5 years, not at all *grin*

Seriously though...for a chain, they're the best place to get fish. I even prefer Petsmart to many of the smaller specialty stores around here, because petsmart has the $$ to care for them. And if your store isn't looking the way it should (i.e tanks, sick fish, etc) complainign to corporate WILL help. I know.

ANyway, sorry I'll get off my soap box now. *grin*
