Petco treatment of Leos

[Hypancistrus]

It's not like those people run home and Google proper husbandry, otherwise the company that makes all those half log hides would have gone out of business years ago.

What's wrong with half log hides...? I use them for many of my animals, and they are quite favored....

He's in the brink of death

I got my albino leo from PetCo about two months ago. She looked like that one. He doesn't have stick tail-- he's just a baby who is putting most of his food into growing longer and bigger, and not storing it in his tail as fat. Mine is getting bigger and eats like a champ, and her tail basically looks a lot like that. As long as it's not stick tail, I don't consider it to be too skinny.

Why didn't I buy a leo from a breeder? Because I like simple morphs, and very few breeders offer plain-Jane albino leos anymore, especially for the $15 sale price I got her for.

Here is my female.
