I don't think it's good for stores like these to sell any type of animals. I think it leads to spontaneous buying. See animal = buy animal. People need to plan these things out to really see if a pet fits their lifestyle.
If the fish are dead in the tanks like some have mentioned, you know you are getting something unhealthy. It would be a waste of money to buy them at that store.
The Petsmart where I live doesn't sell animals. They do host dog, cat, and small animal adoption days. I think this is a better way to do it.
