sounds good! Yeah I already tell people about it too, I think its a good way to keep people knowledgeable about fish
why is he selling oscars to small tanks. just say no to the people that want them. its very easy to do.
even tho hes not a chain petstores he will still try to sell to make money ( even though he recomands a min of 55 gallon per oscar alone ) but he doest refuse sales.
Not if your a small buisness owner. $ is king and turning it down is not something most people do, regardless of the reasons. besides, in 6 months they bring it back and the shop owner resells it again. Atleast thats how it works at the LFS here. THe logical thing to do is to stop selling pacus, not alot of people can house these monsters. Ive seen tanks full of baby RTC's for $20 and they sold fast!komodo182;4497234; said:
Try doing that with your own business and see how far you get...komodo182;4497234; said:

I work at a pet store
we do that
Its a small mom and pop shop, not a chain.
Its very easy
educate the people and they will get the proper equipment and come back.
Pacus, oscars, and anything that reaches larger than around 14 inches does not come into this pet store without a special request.
Want to know why? I am the person that orders the fish. So if someone wants something special, it only gets to them if they have the proper equipment.
I am not saying that things like oscars and id sharks should not be sold. I am saying there should be a control. Its simple, we the pet store does not bring them in or does not sell them to people without the knowledge, the fish will not suffer.
