Lets make fun of people....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So I'm not alone here huh?

Geez you hear and see some crazy stuff. I forgot about people owning the rare african "chinchiia". :ROFL: I remember the first time I heard that, I had to think about what they were talking about. I'm picturing a chinchilla swimming around in their aquarium with their fish.

Yeah, I'm sick of "oh, it's nemo!!!!". I really like the movie but man am I sick of all the kids and parrents freeking out over clown fish. Even notice how many times peopel point out "Neom" and it's not even a percula or Ocilaris? A tomato clown does not even remotly look like Nemo...dumb *ss!!!! (ha ha ha)

I forget which one of you guys mentioned it, but yeah, if theres a lable on the tank with the name of the fish, read it!!!!!! God I hate that. Some of my customers take it a further step, they ask what kind of fish it is when it's clearly labled on the tank. After telling them what it is and pointing out the lable, they ask "how much dose it cost?" The price is on the lable too genious!!!!!

Did any of you read my post a few weeks ago about the woman who put her clown fish in the microwave? I told her to freshwater dip her clowns for like 10 minutes or so. She didn't know how to tell when 10 minutes had passed (clock perhaps?..idiot) I told her to use a timer, she didn't have one, I asked, "do you have a microwave, it's got a kitchen timer on it". She said yes and some how turned that into "put your clowns in the microwave for 10 minutes" THen she blamed me for killing her fish. I told her the best thing to do was drain her tank and get out of the aquarium hobby. She's got two kids in thier late 20 or early 30's, how'd they make it?

this is to funny i have a guy at work that pronounces it that way... :ROFL:
 
Yeah, that really did happen.

THis person was just one problem after another for a very long time with fresh water tanks and then got the genius idea that since she had done so bad with freshwater, perhaps saltwater was the way to go. I'm pretty sure that she dosn't do aquariums anymore. I hope any way.


I have had a few other that make you wonder how the have made it so far in life.

I helped a guy with a problem on his tank that I just couldn't believe the stupidity. I lost my cool with this one. He has a 75 SW with a good system (wet dry, protien skimmer) but he was having water quality problems, fish loss, cloudy water, fish gasping at the surface, etc. I worked with this guy on and off for two days trying to determine the problem only to find out his water pump wasn't working anymore. When I asked, didn't you notice your water wasn't moving anymore, he was like "yeah, I thought something was differant, tank was quieter, filter didn't make that splashing water sound anymore". I was like, couldn't you have mentioned that two days ago? Didn't you want to see why all the sudden your tank was quiet. Didn't it occour to you that possible the filter being quiet and your fish dying might some how be related. It never occoured to him. What a freeken dope!!!! Stupidly on my part I pointed out to him what an idiot he was, he hasn't been back since. I should have been nicer, I could have sold him a new pump and new fish...... And more new fish a few weeks later after he dose the next really stupid thing that wipes out his tank again :ROFL:

sorry ash my dad has a 1995 softail (just sold his 99 sportster)

both bikes are black with fat back tires and a ****load of chrome


nice looking bikes but too loud (he takes the silencers out)
 
Getting back on topic...
Nemo :swear: My wife had named a little julii cory cat Nemo and I guess we never made the connection with the movie until we were at a LFS and all these kids started going 'round pointing at different fish and chanting "Nemo! It's Nemo!" We looked at each other and said fud this and she promptly re-named that cory 'Eric.'
The microwave story is so, well, believable. What you did'nt tell her is that
you're supposed to poke 'em with a fork a few times so they don't explode.

whats the sorry for?? Yah the loud can be annoying =)
 
Yeah, I know. How embarrasing on my part, I'm pretty ignorant with microwaving fish.

You know, I never thought of it but I bet they exploded. That's sad but kind-of funny in a sick way....
