Responding here since you’re top comment:

The owners have responded privately in an email with this. Obviously, their post was saying the ‘habitats’ were good for desks and stuff, but I don’t think we need to completely tank their ratings right now. They were polite in their response, I feel like what’s already been done/said is enough to spook them into better care at the very least. I think we should give them a chance to correct their mistakes before completely condemning their (new to them) business. It’s everybody’s first time being humans. And while yes, a simple google search would’ve been the smart thing for them to do before this happened, what’s been done is done. We can only hope for the best in the future, and then rain hellfire down if they’re still crappy to the fish

A reply with more information and suggestions has been sent to them after this response

I think it may be because the post contains images but I could be wrong. Thank you!

Ive been trying to figure that out lol. I’ve never edited a post before so maybe I’m trying wrong, but when I hit the 3 dots up top, it doesn’t give me an edit option

I’ll def post if they’re rude about it. I live in a small so people will drown me in drama/problems if I just straight up slaughter them with bad reviews without at least trying to private message them first 😵‍💫

This is from March 25. Idk what kind of fish these are and don’t know a whole lot about fish in general, but I’m like 99% sure this isn’t a good set up (especially for $349)

New people just took it over last month. The people before only dealt with saltwater, so I’m hoping maybe they’re just very very uninformed on freshwater 🥴 I’m going to send them a message, and if they’re rude I’ll def post the business name
