Default Aquagiant: Anyone use this Petco?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I noticed a new fish and aquarium supply store in my neighborhood
today. They're part of a chain local to Edmonton (Canada) called
Aquagiant (http://www.aquagiant.com), though this is the first time
that I've heard of them, or seen one of their stores.

Anyhow, I walked in there curious and was delighted to hear that
everything in the store was 20% off as a door-opening special. I
was ready to fork over some cash for some cheesy aquarium decoratons
that my wife and kids might like when I decided to check out the
fish-stock section.

It was appalling how many unwell, dead, or half-eaten fish were
present. There was one tank that had a fuzzy lump of stuff with
spines comming out of it. The sign on the tank identified the
occupant as a Lion Fish.

Is anyone in this group familiar with Aquagiant? Is this pretty
typical of the chain, or is this somewhat of an exception. There
was only one person manning the store when I went there, presumably
the owner, or manager. Could this apparent neglect be a result of a
lack of staff (Edmonton being subject to a labour shortage due to
the Oil Industry draining so much manpower)? Even so, I find this
hard to excuse.

So, if anyone's had any experiences with Aquagiant I'd love to hear
about them. I'm even open to well thought-out advice from those who
haven't had any direct experience with Aquagiant.

Thanks.
