Petsmart rant

OK PETSMART IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

When i went there i wanted to buy a Ctenopoma acutirostre which i did. But its not what i bought its what my bro got.

He ended up getting 2 ocars, 2 JDs. a dozen rosy reds(i managed to rescue 5), and 2 pictis cats for his 20gal. I stayed out of it. I bought my fish and my Frozen beefheart and left. We also went to petco but got nothing.

Moraletsmart can be VERY VERY stupid.

I think to find the true stupidity you should look in the mirror. Such the gutless puke to do nothing and blame this on petsmart.

I agree that the stock he got for his tank is crazy and it is unfortunate that Petsmart there isn't the type of place to prevent such a disaster waiting to happen.

It seems, however, that you did recognize the problem. Would it have been possible for you to talk him out of it? I am not trying to rip you, but it seems you could have made the recommendation not to buy all those fish as easy as Petsmart could have yet you chose not to.

i'm pretty sure, that if your bro told the petsmart people that they are going in to a 20gal tank, i think that they would have not sold it to him. And you sould have stopped your bro from buying the fish.

How brave of you to keep quiet in the store and than to come online and cry about it, that takes some real character. Maybe PetsMart can hire your sorry behind.

Classic, nicely said.

I have had them try to put Oscars in with Gouramis in the same bag. I told the employee to stop as the fish won't even make it home alive. some don't care its just a Job I hope management sees this and deals with it as its a shame to see negligence cause people to lose interest in a hobby. there are 2 sides though. the store and the shopper. if you go to a chain store and expect compotent knowledge you are gonna be let down 99% of the time. It is your resposability to know what your getting before you get it. people need to be informed that fish do not stop growing because they ive in a 20G tank most people assume this to be the case. I have seen bad examples of this at some LFS's a display tank looked awesome but all the fish in it would have outgrown it in a matter of months. he's a fish store and portraying the wrong image.

It's been adequately responded to. Closing since it's continuance will gain nothing and only open the doors for flaming and infractions.
