That is crazy, you actually have to take a number to go i and buy stuff.. :no: It's not like i'm trying to buy an ipad it's a dang fish..lol
Just a FYI, it's common practice for these pet stores to order all their fish in, on Wednesday or Thursday and sell them on the weekend. This is definitely a time where you want to quarantine your fish you bring home, and really scrutinize over the health of the fish you're going to buy. They can get away with this, because they know if you don't buy it, the 40 people in line behind them will.
I've even seen fish unbagged and sold in the same hour at these sales. I won't name the stores, but it is a common practice between them. And as a disclaimer, I've never been to Denny's on an anniversary sale. The times I have been there though, I'd say 50% off might just make some of their fish market price I've seen $75 royal plecos etc there.
Their niche is to have high priced fish that sell slowly, which leads to healthier fish. A fish that sits for 6 months, and then is sold is much more likely to be healthy, but comes at a higher price.
Be an informed buyer. 50% off of a dead or dieing fish is 50% too much.

LOL well the wholesaler they get their fish from are generally good about sending healthy fish. I am there like 3x per week getting various stuff and even on shipment days I rarely see any dead or dieing fish. If they don't look healthy to you, don't buy them. You can generally get a good idea just by looking at the fish if they are healthy or not.
About re selling their fish the same day, they are a business they have to do what they have to do. Nice post though

*shrug* we all deal with the same wholesalers, and yes obviously most of the fish that are ordered are healthy otherwise no one would order from them. I'm simply reminding people to double check what they're buying. Sale times are about the worst time to buy fish if you actually value the life of your fish. Even in a healthy tank of 1000 neons. By the time you're getting your 50, they've been chased 30 times for the customers before you, and won't get sick for 2-3 days after they get to your house.Ashley said:
The benefits is you pay 50% for the fish. Just make sure you quarantine it, so you don't lose 125% of fish value!

WOW, that's a screaming deal on one, even if it's small that's still good.
So I came out with a congo puffer, a mirius puffer, a TSN, a new fluval HOB filter. Some polisher pads, a powerhead, fish food, a chi for my mom, plants and a heater for the chi. Oh and another little puffer for my mom
