Now that I think about it, that maybe their strategy in selling fish. I bought my 2 F8s and Valentini from this store as rescues. They had the F8s not even a 1/2 inch in with almost adult GSPs. Their tails were a bit nipped and they were super skinny. I had to buy them. My Valentini was also very small about an inch, and he was being picked on by adult Tomato Clowns.

The staff are not very knowledgable either, I asked them what SG they had their GSPs in and all they could tell me is that "it was already decided." I got home and tested the water and it was fresh.

However, this store does have a wide variety of fish and reasonable prices...
