this thread is GOLD!! lmao i read about a 6th of it and was on the floor laughing! heres a good story:
i was at walmart one day(was waiting for my mother to get her clothes and had nothing to do so i went to see the poor wally land fishes) and see this woman looking at the dempsey cichlids and malawi cichlids. she says those are pretty fish im gonna get some of both for my big tank! now it cleary says on the label DO NOT MIX! so i say it says on the label dont mix them.... besides the dempseys get really big 10+ inches! she says" no they dont... if i put them in my tank how will they do with these 1 's*points at malawi cichlids*" i say yes they do get 10+ inches it says right there*i point at label where it cleary says gets 10+ inches requires large tank* she says "why cant i mix them?" so i tell her that the malawi cichlids are mean and would stress the dempseys out since they wouldnt be able to claim a territory and ask what fish and how big her tank is. she says" i have a really big tank 10 gallons!" i have an oscar and some of those yellow fish*points at yellow labs* i then tell her the oscars gonna get to around 14-16 inches if properly kept so she says" well ive had it for over 2 years and its only 5 inches i dont think its gonna get bigger" i knew what i was dealing with b4 but now i knew just give up now while i could. to my luck the employee came over! the women then notices the parrot cichlids and says she wants all of them!! the employee says "nooo those guys are mine they're goin in my 200 gallon tank" the women says" while ill take 3 dempseys and some of these guys *points at the malawi cichlids.*" the employee then tells her she cant mix them(yes i just did have this convo with her and she seems to have forgotten it alredy!) so they go through this convo again and the women finaly says while ill just take the dempseys then. the employee go's do you have a big tank? the woman says she has a 10 gallon and the employee says "you cant keep either of those in there its waay to small." so the woman starts to get mad and says "its a fish ill do what i want with it!" and marches off. i then fell on the floor laughing and told the employee i had the same convo with her moments earlier and she starts to laugh. good times good times.
