I stop in to check out the tanks at Walmart on occasion, I guess out of morbid curiosity. I was in the area today so I had a look and much to my surprise(and horror!) there was a tank full of skunk Botia! Maybe 20? Must have just come in as no price yet. I won't describe the conditions of the tank but it broke my heart, only wish I had a place for them. If anyone is in the market or feeling like a rescue might check out your local store. I don't know if it's better to rescue fish in that situation, and possibly have them get more? Or let them die and hope that's the end of it???

I'd get them if I were near there but I live in the Philippines.
