is it too much to expect the aquarium shops i buy my fish from to have clean tanks?

I have 3 shops near me, all small ones and I have to say, mostly their tanks are atrocious. a) it’s not setting a good example but b) I dont want to buy from them!

Is it too much to expect?
you can star it if you like it :D

Not at all! You should only buy fish from stores that keep their tanks clean. I work at a pet store and if my tanks aren’t clean.. oh wait that never happens because they are always clean. As a Freshwater Supervisor I expect my tanks to be clean and a great example.

An aquarium tank is 3 feet long, 1 foot wide, and 2 feet high. How many gallons of water would it take to fill?

    I really have yet to see a smaller privately owned shop with well maintained aquariums. It’s disappointing.

    I work for Petsmart and I am very glad to have a pet care manager that really cares about the animals and presentation. Tank maintenance is done on schedule or else.
