I got a really good fish related story.... It was about three years ago. My dads friend was fishing in one of the small local lakes here. And though he had hooked into a hammer-handle walleye. Finally gets the fish to shore, And low and behold, It was a ten puond black fancy goldfish!!!!!

better be safe than sorry i guess.
Yesterday, an older woman at my favorite LFS (Two of the three employees are knowledgeble, not her) told me the senegals I bought would get 20"
Today when I was at my lfs waiting for my fish to be bagged a guy and his girl friend were walking around and apparently to him everything in the entire store was "lame"

I've had that happen. Guy told me to only use bottled spring water and that no matter what I do to my tap water it will end up killing everything in the tank.
A few weeks back I was at my LFS (the crappiest, most unkept LFS around), and I was only there cuz they do get some rare, cool fish that I can't get at petsmart. So he has 3 L191 royals in a 20g. The tank has UGF and one fake plant. Bellies of 2 are sunken and their eyes are well on their way. They are all huddled behind the UGF tube. You could so tell they were just wasting away with a $40 pricetag. So I ask the guy what they've been eating. "We just give them flakes" he says. So I tell him "These fish need driftwood, veggies, and a quality pellet diet to stay healthy".. his reply was, "We'll sell them quickly, that's up to the buyer to provide them with the best.. it would cost us a fortune to feed them like that"... I just left shaking my head.
Well, about 10 days later I return to the same LFS and look in the tank. No royals. I ask the guy where the royals went... he tells me "oh, we sold them"... I could tell by the tone of his voice that this was not the case and they most likely just died. Poor fish.
