Bought a new fresh water tank set up from Pet World N1 City - brand new, never been used before. Ran the tank as was suggested for a week with no fish, got the PH balance and the ammonia levels correct before going back to PW N1 city to get fish for a very excited 8 year old. I noticed that there were small white spots on the fish I bought but didn't think much of it - fast forward a week and a half later, fish are heavily infected with what I realized was a parasite (thanks Google), and thereafter died. I was left with 4 dead fish and a traumatized 8 year old.
I emptied out the tank, sterilized the gravel and items within, including the filters, ran it for another week and then went to PW N1 city, and dealt again with an uninterested lad that sold me the sick fish, pointed out other fish in his displays that were dead/dying and his response was, we sometimes get batches that are infected. None the less, he showed me a few other fish, said that those were fine, and I bought them and went home with a happy 8 year old.
Guess what - history repeated itself and the fish are now all dead. It's pathetic that a chain store like PW can't adequately quarantine and treat their stock - unless this is the basis of their entire sales strategy - fleece the consumer for everything they can. Shame on you guys. I'll never go back to your store or support you guys in any shape or form - ever again and I don't recommend anyone else ever does.
