| I bought a long arm prawn (also from Petco) and put him in with my Betta a while ago and I had to take the prawn back because he killed my Betta. Be careful what you put them with. I also paid $14 for it.

| I don't know what has posessed Petco to start selling prawns in AZ (I've also seen them at the Mesa/Chandler stores)...my favorite setup had to be the 8 longarm prawns in with the guppies. Sometimes I wonder what those Petco employees are smoking...

| The problem with most employees at Petcos is that the Managers get so frantic and antsy and they hire anyone who says they know about fish. If you have had a fish tank at one time then most managers think that you know what you are doing. I know, I work there. My manager put me in fish after I told him that I had some knowledge. He didnt test me or even see if I knew anything.
