Bubble above eye at petco

[oceaninabox12345]

So im at petco, and i notice on a yellow tang that his eye is sticking partway out of his head. And then Chromis have this on them..
Not looking for a cure, or to cure them. Just wondering what the heck is on the tang

Eye sticking out is either swelling due to an injury or popeye.

Poor guy, Petco needs to stop selling live animals...

I agree.. some locations are better than others but not enough to where they will get my support. I came across ********** recently. You can start online petitions that actually go places. I need to put some background information together before I start it. Doubt this will be the place to post it however.

I dont really agree that petco should be forced to not sell live aninals. I mean, if we all feel that way and stop buying them, eventually they will stop selling them. And on the other hand, they need to hire better employees and better managers. The salt and freshwater section here in MT usually smell of rotting fish.

In the ideal world yes, but many beginners don’t know any better and go to Petco and get sold sick fish and give up on the hobby. Not to mention the reputation this hobby suffers because of Petco and Petsmart, Petland etc. and how they make it too easy for any anti-groups to just go there and snap pics of their tanks to show how we are all cruel fish killers in this hobby...

After years of attempts by a number of groups to get Petco to care it’s obvious they don’t plan to change their model. Just my opinion anyway...

I had to beg Petco to sell me a sick fish. The employee said it was agaist policy to sell sick fish. It was a wrasse who was getting it's but kicked by a neon dotty...not sick I guess but fins torn to shreds. She eventually gave in and gave me a big discount since it was injured.

I have to commend her for trying not to sell someone a hurt fish. When she realized the neon dotty had turned nasty she swapped it into a hospital tank they had. I was surprised they had that tbh.

The fish in general appeared healthy at that one though.
