My husband went to Petco last Friday. Knowing that we were going to be out of town for six days, he wanted to purchase the goldfish feeder that we have purchased for the past few years when we have left town. The regular feeder was out of stock, and the employee recommended another feeder. Unfortunately, it was not a goldfish feeder, and we were unaware of this because we went by the employee's recommendation. Our goldfish, Sparkey, is now dead and died a horrible death.
My 7-year-old son won Sparkey at a carnival three years ago, and he had grown from a one-inch white carnival fish to an eight-inch golden beauty. That fish ate out of our hands and spit water at us while perched on the ledge between our kitchen and family room. I am so distraught and angry, because he did not have to die if someone who works in a pet store had known what they were talking about. These employees are not even high school graduates, and we are even more stupid to be accepting their advice. Shame on me for trusting someone and losing our family goldfish over this.
