I bought nirite snails from this location in Winnipeg and when I was there some of their tanks had been infected with camalanus wormsI was insured that the tanks with the snails where not infected and so I bought two of themAbout two weeks after purchase I had been informed that my fish where infected by These worms by a lady who had bought some of my fish I had for saleI ended up having to euthanize all of my fish and restart my whole aquariumI lost all my fish witch was worth well over $and all of my aquarium sun strait had to be thrown out because it was filled with Malaysian trumpet snails who could all be a host to these wormsSo with that I lost everything my plant that's had baby snails on it all goneI contacted the store and told them about this and all I received to compensate me was a $gift card for the petland chainThis not only does not cover my cost but why would I buy anything from a store that would sell sick fish and such to customersIf some of
Petland on regent fish department has an outbreak of a very contagious parasite called camalanusI informed them of the outbreak this winter when I bought three very sick fish from them,they didn't take my warnings seriouslyunfortunately I didn't notice the parasite until it had ready infected my other fishI've lost over $worth of fish because of it
Since that time I've met several people in the fishkeeping community that have lost fish because of fish they bought there
Petland keeps attempting to treat the parasite, but it's an almost impossible parasite to treatIt's pretty much a death sentence for fish once infected the tankAnd what bothers me is they continue to sell fish all the while knowing that they have this parasite, every time I go in I can find at least several tanks with the infectionThey know this but yet continue to sell *** *** ***
