Friend and Oscar

[xylpheon]

Well, that's what petsmart always told me, and why would they lie???

hm...my petsmart usually tells me 2 gallons per inch

they told me I could keep 6 oscars in my 55 gallon......
tell your friend that an oscar needs a 75 gallon minimum (preferably a 90) but he'll figure that out when the 30g is literally filled with oscar poo in a number of days.

He went up to a 55 (not much better). But he didn't even get it when the it was filled with poop.

lol but guys, he could put 3 10" oscars in 30 gallon right!?
i mean just follow the inch per gallon rule!

LOL! I wish these stupid chain stores would get correct info and train their staff. A Pet Smart near me has red bay snooks, and the tag said they only get 8''

If you all hate the info given out by chain stores, stop going. Better yet, go work at one and give people the correct info. You have to remember that working at those stores is something people do for a job. It doesn't mean that fish are their passion. Remeber that next time you act like an ass to some poor kid who is trying to work their way through school.

Do your friend a favor and show him this site.

Now that is Funny!

I'm going to. I'm also going over to his house on Friday, never actually seen his oscar before. . . I'm a bit nervous.
