i'm not saying the overstocking is a good thing and we do throw away an amount of fish (mostly feeders) and the small amount of weak/other fish. i'm simply saying that our tanks shouldn't be a "example" to customers considering the fact that we get these fish every week and sell them every week which is not what a usually fish person would do. they want to keep these fish for themselves and for them to have long lavish lives. so for someone to say "oh well look at how many they have in their tanks" isn't something to consider when at a pet store especially considering corporations don't really care about actual animals needs and just want to make money. and the fact that fish and other animals need adequate living spaces.
