And fish are always going to die in stores, from shipping, incompatible water, aggressive tank mates, etc. But when I see a dead fish in a store, I think that if that fish died from disease, all the killers now have plenty of time to "jump ship" and infect every fish in store (or at least on the system). See how the store reacts when you mention the corpse. I once mentioned a corpse at a chain store and was told they had to leave the dead ones in until they did their inventory. Gross!
That is a good idea too. Thanks.
