I work at petco and its jerks like you that make me hate my job yes most of the aquatic employees know nothing about keeping fish but that doesnt mean you should treat them like crap... I would have asked for your phone number so I could "get some info for you" then you would have the law knocking on your door since you cannot legally capture and keep dolphins... dont be a prick just cause you might know more than most petco employees.... JERK>>>> god I cant wait till I quit selling fish to people working at petco has seriously made me want to get out of the hobby away from all the stuck up fish snobs taht think they know everything... I knwo alot about fish but I will never be an expert... and neither will anyone around there is just to many types of fish different water parameters and just way to much knowledge to learn for any one person to be considered a "fish expert" now you might be ab expert in certain species but to be a fish expert in general if you ever think that you have become one your ego has gotten the better of you...

Me too. To be honest I didn't even think it was that funny 'cause I personally would have hung up which would have ended the joke. And no I don't even work at a lfs.. And there are fish species with dolphin in the name so maybe they mis-understood.. who knows.
I agree with what you're saying about being a fish expert too. Not to throw names but even Oddball who knows alot of oddball fish has some gray areas where he doesn't know about others I'm sure.

I must make a public apology. I apologize. not all petco employees are "stupid" most in my area are. for example. i had 30 minutes to waste before class so i stopped by the main petco in my area and i ask the 'aquatics manager' today if she has any tanganyikin cichlids. she says yes and showed me a blood parrot.
There is a difference between stupidity and ignorance. stupidity is lacking common sense, ignorance is lacking knowledge. it doesn't take an aquatic expert to know that it is highly unlikely someone would make it to memphis with a kidnapped dolphin. i confirmed with the petco employee that it was an "eek eek flipper dolphin" she knew it was the real thing and not a fish. it takes someone lacking common sense to believe i had one.
once again, i apologize for offending you. it was simply a joke. u might want to invest in a valium. u have alot of built up anger.
Oh come on, how smart do you have to be to know that a Dolphin shouldn't be in a home aquarium? You guys are overreacting.
