So i went to the Lfs today to pick up a few gsp's. I was shocked to see over 40 babies in freshwater fighting/dying. naturally i freak out and confront the manager about the care of the puff's. After a heated conversation i was asked to leave the store (big surprise).
I am wondering if anyone has ever has success reporting or enforcing proper care of these fish?

Re: gsp's need help
We have the RSPCA to turn to here in the UK, as well as the Ornamental Fish Association (aka Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association): do you guys have anything similar?
You could also try writing to any local trading standards organisations to complain about animal welfare, but also about how you were treated by the store staff.

Re: gsp's need help
Ive been looking around to try to find some kind of authority but cant seem to pin point any. staff was defensive and curt with me.
