I love going in to the fish department to see fish mislabeled and employees lack of knowledge at PetSmart. Yes I know some are somewhat knowledgeable but most aren't. According to our fish expert this Flowerhorn or Red Texas is 100% pure Jack Dempsey. Looks pretty nice though. Share some of your stories with big box fish stores

They throw juvie JD's in with every and anything so when there's a random CA or SA cichlid they don't waste their time trying too hard to solve the mystery. Yep gotta love paying 2.99 for a carpintis
I also picked up a Midevil and a possible fader FH all "JD's" for under 5 bucks.
The only thing good about big box stores is taking advantage of their apathetic ignorance.
 
I was in a local chain store this past weekend and saw a beautiful red spotted Severum juvie, someone next to me asked what is was and the lady said, "that's an Oscar right?"
 
Haha yes I was in petsmart and bought two hill stream loaches which they called flounder plecos lol I couldn't help but laugh and the lady who worked there was blowing false facts all over to look like an "expert"
 
I went to a local Pet Land Discount shop last year & picked up 3 Barred Midas Juveniles that were sold to me as "Red Devils" I actually thought they where young Red Terrors, but definitely knew they weren't R/D'S. Need less to say I was pleased with the purchase & the lack of knowledge from these big chain stores,,, Keep'em coming I'm always on the look out for a unique fish that has been miss labeled,,, :eek::cool:
