Stupid things you hear at petshops.

Or "one inch of fish per gallon". So that means if you had 10 neon tetras in a ten gallon tank that would be overstocked? and I guess that means you could also put a 10 inch Oscar in a ten gallon tank aswell lol.

Oh and my favorite is when I tell them a fish gets too big, the response is always, yeah but a fish only grows to its surroundings, so thatsok... I am like, oh that's right, they do only grow to the size of their tank, and then, they die....

The best was "me and my fish were talking yesterday, and he decided that he doesnt want to live in the water anymore. Do you have something for that?"
She was dead serious. Ahhh Santa Cruz.
Or, "why yes, this pacu is quite vicious"

I was at petsmart where a lady was looking to buy fish for her two kids... probably 4 and 10

Worker insisted that she shouldnt get some sort of fish cause they get large and her reply was it wouldn't live that long with the kids.
THen the kids jumped in and said they had to flush one of their old fish cause the younger caught it out and had it in the toliet and no one wanted to get it out.
Mother chimed back in and said the kids like to catch the fish with their hands.

I damn near fell to the ground laughing

I love all pets emporium the employees think that a arowanna will only grow ten inches and oscars are very good community fish. And yea she ment smaller fish but I think my fave is the one inch per gallon thing they preach by those standards I can have my five pond peakcock bass in 24 to 36 gallon tank lol

That one about the couple not knowing their goldfish was dead coz its eyes were open had me rolling...

 

[Juxtaroberto]

Well... they are related (pacus to piranhas), although they're not vicious meat eaters.

I saw a woman with her kids the other day have the employees bag up two fish. Then she said oh these are saltwater? I have a fw tank but I think I will have some of these ones! Then she wanted to pay for her purchase with food stamps!
