Whaaaaat:WHOA:. wow thats real bad ,could you imagine a 12 yr old kid picking up an RTC and thinking it would never out grow his 20 gallon:ROFL:

Your Petsmart sells RTC's?:WHOA: That should be illegal.

This was a long time ago, lol...like back in the day when they were $50 a piece. They had 3 and were selling them for $80. I ended up getting it for $1.64 because the guy looked at the signs with what was suppose to be in that tank. So I bought it as a Aeneus Cory Catfish. That's how bad it was.

So to sum it up...I bought a RTC as a Cory Catfish that grew as large as a common Pleco at 6" according to him.

Wow that is really bad :eek:

I think this happened to me back in 2003 or 2004 when FRTs were legal to purchase from the LFS.

The guy basically swore that FRTs feed and should be fed a steady diet of tubifax worms -_-"

I'm pretty sure there are gold saums in the wild...

No, gold saums are variants of the trure green terror. just like the albino oscar.

They're is a big debate whether they're even the same species or just regional variants of each other. WHICH ARE IN THE WILD and not influenced by man like albino oscars. This link discusses it towards the bottom of the first page and is a good read. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=205134&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0

of course there are gold saum in the wild.

To my mind the gold saum is a completely different species the true green terror only gets to around 4-5", and the saum can reach around 12" so to my mind a varient shouuldnt have such a big size difference.
 
Silly shop peoples :P
 
once went into petsmart and saw a tank full of oscars with hith and informed the girl what it was,she said it was from them fighting,even though most of them there faces were half gone from the hith,when i asked what they were going to do about it,she said sell them at a discount(hith oscars for sale cheap:screwy::screwy::screwy:)
