pet shops do *A LOT* that should not be done with animals.....
a few examples:
fish, marine: damsels are super teritorial and will kill each other to establish teritorry. they may have a holding tank with 20-30 in a cute looking "school" but leave them there and watch how many die every day from having fins eaten by larger ones....
(most folks do not see this as the staff net out the dead ones)
also most pet shops sell animals every day so most of the time the dogs,cats,birds,reptiles and so on do not have time to stake out a teritorry, they are in a new habitat and need time to sort out what's going on.... so sure a mali and a BD may not kill each other for a few days / weeks but in the end one of them will suffer when they do not get the right food, temp, light or space to hide etc....
