THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE A SALE!!! Its true, the do it all the time. Petsmart is the worst store to buy ANY pet from. They are unreliable, stubborn, useless and jus plain stupid when it comes to fish. They have info on the little "cards" about fish which is COMPLETELY wrong and they will ARGUE that the cards are in fact right, even though there are tons of websites that say differently. I have gone in there alot when I first started in the hobby. I asked all the right questions and followed their advice and got some "recommended" fish for my tank, went home and did some research(which i should have doen before) and realized I had five fish that would grow over 2 feet long!!! I know, I shouldnt put this all on them. I do believe the customer has some responsibility here too. I shouldnt have bought ANY fish without doing some research. But, I did tell them what size my tank was, what I wanted, and what kind of equipment I had running on the tank. I also told them I was a newbie, and that these were my first non goldfish fish. I left it up to them to provide me with some advice and their so called professional knowledge and ended up getting screwed. Since then, I no longer listen to anything they tell me, I dont buy anything that I dont have knowledge of. The only good thing thaat came outta that first Petsmart visit was that the new fish gave me the leverage to get a bigger tank. LOL
