Not Pleased! With LFS

I went in to my Local Fish Store today ( Pets Unlimited ) They had Thailand Catfish that were full grown. They were cool, then I look closer they are Pink, Blue, and Green!
Dyed Fish once again, why do this to a living fish? They also had there cricket shipment just come in the crickets that escaped they threw in there 400G display tank, it has Giant Gourami, and other BIG fish. But they also emptied the box in the tank which also had Cardboard flakes which ended up all inside the tank in the water, all the fish started eating the cardboard, there was staples that came out of the box that ended up in the water also.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!
Thanks for reading my rant.

NOT a good LFS. Complain to management then find another place in which to spend money.

I dont even know what the attraction is to these painted fish....honestly I don't think it makes them look pretty at all. It just makes me sad and sick to see this happening.....

Tell them you will not buy from them unless they clean up their act. That is completley un acceptable.

I don't see what is good with painted fish either, I would much rather have a catfish that is grey, black, silver, with natural colors. The person who was dumping the stuff into the aquarium is the Manager.
He is also the one that has used langague around young kids in the store that is not acceptable.
I have called the District Manager, and he refuses to return my calls. I have no where else to shop, which puts me in a hard situation. The other LFS closed down.Due to the mall be closed in the near future.

The sad part is the only reason dyed fish are still around is because they sell big.

I don't liek paitne dfish either, i don't liek the bright neon colors, its not natural. I like the colorful iredescents of the cichlids scales. Did they take the staples out???
