Today I picked up 5 more mystery babies for free, I'm up to a total of 9 now. They can't sell the babies since they aren't in the inventory. I walked in and the dude was like "hey! here for more fry?" and as We were looking through the fry tanks I saw this poor little Blood Parrot. Poor thing was laying on the bottom gasping, he was a sad/dingy yellow color with many black ammonia burns. I asked if I could take it home for free ( i have taken sick fish from here before ). I talked to a manager and she said she couldn't let me take him tonight, she didn't agree with it but had to follow the rules to keep her job. She said if it had a "physical" wound ( scrape, missing eye etc.... ) she'd let me take it as an adoption tonight, but she had to follow protocol. She told me that she worked on Saturday and that if the fish isn't better by then I could have him. She pulled him right then and took him back the their QT.She kept saying she wanted to let me have him, but can't lose her job over it. So fingers crossed that it's still alive on Saturday and I get to take him home.
on a bit of a happier note here are some pictures
It was really cute, when I put the bag of new fish in the old fish swam up and hung out around the bag. They had come from the same tank at that store, so I imagine they were happy to see their buddies again

Poor blood parrot, part of me hopes he passed along - but maybe he'll hold on because Bally's tanks are the next best thing to heaven.
