I was down there the other day, and the tanks looked good and every fish I saw was healthy as far as I could tell, in fact I bought a sail fin. Besides, it's not like you can't go to any of LFS around here and see dead and sick fish. I went shopping at a reputable LFS down south yesterday and saw about 5. Give it a look, might surprise you. BTW....I don't work at Petco....lol
