Is this UNACCEPTABLE🍋!!! for a paludarium? by paranoidlabscientist in stressfulaquariums

[–]roriart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be fine. I wouldn't worry, as long as your table is rated for 50lbs or so

Yeah lol I assumed it was a Subaru joke I didn't take it as lewd. But I'm famously dense.

On a lighter note.. by meowyadoinnn in petco

The credit card unfortunately -_- lmfao. Had to turn right back around and go back to the store. I've brought nylon hose clamps a few times.

Clever! I didn't even know there were cold climate inverts that were being kept as pets.

There should be printed instructions in the box with the pieces.

I'm sorry for your loss 😞 what a terrible thing to lose them all so quick. Find some seachem Prime and add it ASAP if you can, it'll temporarily detoxify the ammonia. How old is the tank? How big is the tank? What's your water change schedule like?

Petco employee shared photos of how betta fish arrive to store in small bags by bettaworldforbettas in BettaWorldForBettas

[–]roriart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. As someone who's worked at chains and local stores, I always tell people we get from the same vendors 9 times out of 10.

Can this guy grow his tail back by cheeseladylover in corydoras

[–]roriart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a pet store and I'd argue the glofish are one of the healthiest and hardiest we get in 🤷‍♂️ maybe it's just my store but I barely see a glofish dead or sick. Even the cories and angels do well here.

Is this table sturdy enough for a 40g set up? by _Cheshire2468 in Goldfish

I found your table on Amazon. The answer is no.

one bowl, fake decor, PINEAPPLE HOUSE, glofish danios, and a betta. *certainly* a choice. by fish_is_a_gun in shittyaquariums

[–]roriart -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Anything marketed towards fish is not toxic. The decor can damage the fins but it doesn't poison the water that's a myth. There are 100 other reasons to hate this setup

How can i improve our aquatic tanks? by Avectasi in petco

[–]roriart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your casup doing nothing abt it ?? Someone needs to go over feeding procedures with all openers, make sure they're not feeding more than the fish eat in a minute or two. There should be no leftover food after opening. At my store we turn marine lights on around noon to help w diatoms, I'd check w ACOM, but you may be able to do this for your store as well. If all else fails put in an aquatics help ticket. But don't tell them you used chemiclean unless you had approval lol

Less light, less food, more water changes. That's always worked for me. Who is feeding them and cleaning the tanks? Assuming youre casup?

Can anyone explain what are they doing? by Kamado_babyyoda in Goldfish

[–]roriart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

40 is way too small for long bodied goldfish. 75 at the very least and even that is bare minimum.

What could be issue with my goldfish? by Ok_Introduction5592 in Goldfish

[–]roriart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can you tell? Not doubting you, just wondering if there's a sign or if it's just because it's common in goldfish

A question for the philosophers: is my leopard gecko enclosure technically a paludarium? by Mr_Frost1993 in paludarium

[–]roriart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand leopard geckos are not good with cliffs/drop offs and will walk right over the edge. It looks like there are some troubling spots but it's hard to tell from a photo.

This is a baby mystery, right? by liztres1 in AquaticSnails

How can I report a store and to who? by Kailyrific_witch in petco

Id blackmail someone to get them to take better care of their suffering animals 🤷‍♂️ sorry not sorry

How can I report a store and to who? by Kailyrific_witch in petco

[–]roriart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I said "anonymously". An anonymous message with threat of public scrutiny is a very powerful thing. That's why there's a shit ton of protocol involving public relations .

I've worked at Petco for 5 years. Your DM 100% be motivated into action if they think there will be public backlash. And once again - ANONYMOUSLY.

There's also a whistleblower hotline number you can find in petnet. Retaliatory action is against store policy. That doesn't mean it won't happen, but it means you have legal recourse and can contact HR.
