I commend Petco

I saw this at my local petco the the other day. I hope they put these in a lot of stores to make people more aware.

Wowwwwww that's pretty surprising unfortunately that sign does have a time frame you can see the up and down date on there but your right the effort is well worth it

Maybe Petco should take their own advice...

Good find

I wonder if that's Disney paying for that sign so that they will come back and say they did there part in making the public somewhat aware.

These are going up in Petcos all over. It's a national campaign. My employer got a press release on it. Such a great idea, but yeah, it should stay up for like a year after the movie comes out.

Cheers,

I just saw a clip on the news about the movie. They made it seem like the movie doesn't promote the keeping of fish in the home.

Whether we agree with certain aspects or not. Hopefully it makes more people think twice before ignoring the signs and just putting a tang in a 20g

I saw that too and there was another comparison chart that showed things like the cost to set up a salt versus freshwater, how much time to clean both, etc. It did have the dreaded "one fish per two gallons" for saltwater.

Great on Petco's part to make customers aware, but the sign should remain for at least six months past the Holiday season. There will surely be an influx of eager beginner aquarists wanting to start off with a novelty blue tang like a Dory.
