Topic Title says it all: :(

Even for a fish store that's way overstocked.

Well, i would disagree a little.. For the fish store, their turnover rate is very high. they would prob be gone by a couple of days or at most, a week or 2. As far as I know, "most" LFS have their water at a reasonable condition/quality. At least this tank is decorated and they looked healthy enough.. maybe new batch..

At least it looks like they get fed well
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

word, at least they all look healthy. In a shop a) they won't be there long and b) shops usually have really really high water turnover rates and well established systems so filtration wont be a huge issue with that many gsp's in a tank like that. I'd say that any given walmart is a billion times more hellish.

It doesn't matter ;) Much less interesting than you probably think it is.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
