Jadore axolotl

Well i went to the pet shop where i got my axolotl today and i was very dissapointed.
The axolotls that are left seem very unwell, they seem to be fed propperly and all but alot of them just have stumps instead of gills and one (the smallest) has half a leg with fungus growing over the half that was left.
I think i got bob just in time and saved him from this horrible faith but i cant help but feel bad about the ones that are left.
Just thought I'd post to let people know that obviously some petshops cannot take care of their axolotls. I dont think it is the carers fault as it is a largish irish chain of pet stores, i just think the people the own it decided to get them in but i feel the least they could have done is to make sure that someone there had the knowledge to care for them.
On a side note bob is doing very well since i got her. She has grown about 2 inches in the last month and her gills are alot more feathery and have gotten longer since i got her and she also has a little chubby belly!
