Don't Let Your Pets Become Pests

Dumping anything out of an aquarium such as fish, animals, and plants can have devastating consequences for any natural waterbodies. When they’re dumped into the wild they can introduce diseases or become serious predators, killing off local fish colonies, and damaging reefs and vegetation that keep our underwater ecosystem alive and healthy.

    I’ve noticed that Petsmart or Petco have plants with some being in the tubes, and some being in bags. What is the difference between the two minus species and why do they have them in such different like packaging? Is one harder to grow than the other?

    I know some local stores create their own “starter kits” that are fairly priced. As far as buying online, I’d have no idea unless you bought from a marine specific store.

    Noticed that my local stores don’t even have these for sale and have a sign similar to what that group posted. Crazy that they didn’t see this in packaging them or anything else.

    If you have recently purchased any plants or moss balls from Petco/Petsmart, or someone who uses the same Breeder as them, you may want to be on the look out for these highly invasive mussels.

    Any having issues trying to still return things back? I know when Petsmart swapped to allowing my receipts were expired and I didn’t care to have a gift card loading with cash - but they just have me cash instead 🤷‍♂️

    100% parameters. Everything requires very specific set of parameters which makes things way more confusing in terms of water changes, etc.

    TAKE YOUR TIME AND DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING is my pro tip

    I’ve seen this all through Facebook the past few months. Crazy that they spread this accidentally, and makes you wonder if we will now see them in other states or regions from people dumping it all incorrectly.

    I think it’s more about saving costs now than anything else. Especially when they save on paying for a panel or two of glass and can swap that out for plastic or acrylic on some tank kits.

    I’ve never seen any type of tanks that have tint on them or…
