Anyone? Stuck me with a jd, Oscar, gt, 2 parrots, sun cat, and pleco in a 55! Moved most of them out by now though. I always see poor abused oscars returned to my lfs.

Most of the horror stories I see take place in mom and pop outfits, usually giant fish in tiny tanks, super sick fish, or questionable water quality.
 
One time an old women employee at petsmart tried telling me there is no such thing as live underwater plants, they sell live plants at petsmart.. Also I saw a tank that said regular Texas cichlids and they were clearly a bunch of red Texas cichlids And a few JD's they employee tried so hard to make me believe that actually were regular Texas cichlids then I showed him some of the JD's in the tank and he didn't seem so confident in his argument.

THEY stuck You with them? Lol. This is why you do your own research before going out to buy fish. They are there to make a buck, be an informed fish keeper and this wouldn't happen.

Walked into petsmart to buy gecko food saw a guy walk out with a ten gallon tank, some accessories, a tiny filter and a couple bags of fish that was like a total of ten fish. That's a horror in itself

Why do people always rag on stores? I don't get it. Not everyone will know everything. It's true in ANY industry. Remember, these places are FOR PROFIT. That is job #1.

Why not start threads about the good stories from shops?
