Wow. 60+ fish (well, 50+ now) in a 20g.. Got an FX5 on there?
Does the manager enjoy flushing potential profits down the drain? I'd think after 5 or more died within a couple days you could reason with anyone.. Guess not.
Actually, I probably don't have too much room to talk. i got 2 3" Convicts in a 20L with about 300 1/2" fry in there too at the moment.
I'm over-filtered though, and most of the fry will be Dempsey & Pictus food this weekend.

Yeah they have 2 sponge filters
Hopefully she'll learn her lesson soon....
Yeah no worries I have a pair of cons in my 15g for now which should start breeding pretty soon, free food for the predators in the 90g

ANYWAYS - back to our stories 
Had the manager at my LFS today offer me a 4" buttikoferi that they had in a 10 gallon time out tank for a discount price (it was $11) because it had killed everything else in the tank with it (go figure haha). The conversation went like this....
Her: Why don't you buy that buttikoferi? It's beautiful and I'd give you a discounted price on it.
Me: If I had an open tank that I could keep it in by itself I would, but my 90 is fully stocked so I can't.
Her: Why don't you just buy a 10 gallon and keep it in it? It'd look beautiful.
Me: Yeah, it would until the fish becomes stunted (laughing as I said it)
Her: *silence*
This is the same manager that set up the above tank that I posted with like 50 fish in it. It's sad, because the butti is REALLY healthy and is a really nice fish, hopefully someone with an appropriate tank (75+) is the one who actually buys it... If only I had room for another tank

Customer: Can I feed these to my danios? *holding SANYU sinking pellets(3mm diameter pellets)*
Worker: These pellets sink.. I don't think they can eat them..
Then the customer goes back into the store and brought a bottle of pellets 7mm in diamter and asks again... LOL
I was righ in front of them I dare not voice out since I'm just 15... The boss might urge me to leave or whatever..
Then a lady came in and looked at the RES..
Lady: Do they need air pumps?
Boss: Yea they do..
Me: LOL?
Lady: Ok then, are there any fish here that don't need air but won't die?"
By this time me and my friend were out of that store and I was laughing..

"Do you have any betta fish?"
- Yes (points her in right direction)
(she comes back with 2 bettas)
"Can I keep more than I of these in the bowl with the goldfish?"
- Only if they're both female, males will kill each other very quickly.
"Well that's stupid... okay well do you have fish food?"
- Yeah of course (takes her over there and comes back)
"Can I get a bag or something to put this in?"
- It's already in it's own container, just set it in the cupholder it will be okay
"Well then where am I supposed to be my beer????"

Wow. Think I'd have been placing a discreet call to the local Sheriff's Department to do a random DUI check as she left the parking lot. Who's dumb enough to advertise that they plan on drinking and driving?
