frustration at the fish shop.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Omg. I went there last year Christmas to pick up some plants. Really nice shop! Not much monster (when I was there) but the planter tanks and community fish were amazing. Also the owner was really nice. Def would visit there again but I’m 1.5 hours away ?
when I went yesterday they did actually have some bigger fish. They had an Australian arowana, a tank full of good-sized (like a foot long) iridescent sharks, a GIANT common pleco, lots of BIG Oscars, A GIANT king kong parrot, and a tank full of what they said was texas cichlids. I think they might have actually been flowerhorn hybrids though.

Oh cool! Probably were low in stock when I was there. I did see some cool plecos there so that was nice ?
 
With mine I had the bag in my hand and these 2 people came in and said “We came in for this today because we couldn’t take it yesterday” I was like uhhh and my dad goes oh well here ya go, they paid and we left fishless.
That’s when he should have told them to bugger off and they’re our fish now. If I have the fish in the bag in my hands it’s mine, whether I’ve paid yet or not it’s going home with me.

Sounds like dad didn't want to pay for them in the first place and those folks came to his rescue just in time lol.

If the guys who came in had agreed with the shop owner to put them to one side, or even better put a deposit down, then fair enough. It's obvious this wasn't the case though because the fish were obviously still for sale when young Kolton13 Kolton13 went in with his dad.

If I was kolton, and my dad pulled a stunt like that, i'd be pissed off to say the least. In fact i'd have gone straight home and grassed my dad up to my mum.....and laughed as my mum leathered him with the rolling pin, lol.
 
I’ve never had this happen with a fish, but I was at a fish shop once looking for a freshwater crab. I saw one labeled as “radar crab”, not sure if that’s a real species. Employees didn’t know it was there, I see the crab sticking out of the rock. They lift the rock and net out a dead, moldy crab. And then it starts falling apart...

I hope you got a good discount on it!

I was pretty mad, it was an awesome fish. Luckily I didn’t get it tho.
