Well, not trying to offend anyone, but I'm just stating what I've observed. I'm not sure what fish department you worked at, but the LFS I worked at actually made the bulk of their $$ from fish. The manager and owner both told me this. The supplies are tough to mark up b/c then people won't buy them. The fish are a dime a dozen(so to speak) and they sell for $2, $3 or more/ea, so even if some die (it happens), it doesn't hurt that much. I couldn't see places carrying fish if they weren't profitable.
