Petsmart shouldn’t even sell fish, I’ve been all over the country and yet to run into a single one with a knowledgeable staff member or decent conditions for the fish, anything I’ve ever bought from there would get a 6 week quarantine with medication because they’re always diseased...
Tanks. In. restaurants.

A couple of weeks ago I walked into one of those huge shops that sell everything from plumbing supplies, garden supplies, furniture, etc...They also had a pet section....with a display 20G fish tank. The tank has the brightly coloured blue and pink gravel, one of those bubble chests that open and close, a couple of artificial plants, small internal filter, and 3 large common goldfish...
I forgot all about my favorite Chinese Buffet!....they have a nice sized koi pond in the front lobby area right where the cashier is stationed.It's one of those oddly shaped jobs that is built up against a corner in the room.....lots of koi but the water is always crystal clear.
I hear you, but I've yet to find a LFS that cares for fish the way we do or dispenses proper advice as well. I suppose they'd go totally broke if they did.
Don't even mention doctor's offices. My old pediatrician's waiting room was coral reef themed *groan* and there were cute little murals on the walls with totally inaccurate depictions of reef life... It's hard to be a diver and see all of this crap. The design was charming, except for the 30 or so gallon hex (the ugliest design I've ever seen, retch), stocked with GloFish (TM?) Danios and goldfish, with Chinese algae eaters everywhere. Oh, and a pair of angelfish. I puked in my mouth a little bit, I HATE GloFish.
whats really annoying and puzzles me is that despite the fact the fish are kept in too small aquariums they look healthy, Goes totally against standard good fishkeeping protocol
Chinese Restaurants are always the ones that make me think "what the hell?' I spend more time in amazement at the aquarium than I do enjoying my meal
Drives my Wife mad

My favorite localism Chinese buffet has a fountain with goldfish and two pacu ( I've seen a little kid pet the pacu,they seemed to dig it)
I seen some chinese restaurants have indoor ponds all tiled. Plenty of room, for large koi and small goldfish to move around.
I went to one Japanese restaurant that had a 90 gallon, with two 9” Oscars, GloFish, 7 Angelfish, and Goldfish... spent more time thinking how disappointing the tank was then eating.
