Local Petsmart actually has Fish keepers working in the fish Department and the GM has Fish so He set up a actual Display tank .

I was at my lfs today and i was asking the owner about when they were getting more mbuna african cichlids in not the peacock and he pointed to the peacocks and said look there they are african peacocks 16.99 i turned and walked out

hahaha wow, i would have done the same thing! after a run around the store like this

I was told my "chilid" gourami was cool looking.

lol an employee actually said that?

I have been told that mbuna will do fine being fed simply Brine Shrimp and Bloodworms. Apparently, no one at either petco or petsmart has any idea what they're looking at. At petco, I asked if they had got any Penguin Tetras in and the associate referred me to the Panda Mollys, and at Petsmart, an associate told me that they didn't have any Melanochromis johannii, but they did have auratus... (they were actually johannii). Needless to say, I never ask anything anymore when I go to Petco or Petsmart, I just use my phone to verify what I'm looking at.

i do the EXACT same thing! if im ever in petsmart or petco i ignore the employees and get on mfk mobile

"Fish grow to the size of the tank"

haha i will have to admit when i first started fish keeping i actually thought that! but dont worry, it didnt take me long to realize that was untrue

That pictus catfish have to live alone because they are so aggressive... oh ya and that my first red devil and pacu could live in my 55 for life,togther, with a giant pleco in there already... they are such a joke!!

they really are! they need to have people who actually own fish. they should make them go through like a mini "fish schooling" haha. but i have a pictus and he would be devastated if i took some of his friends away lol! whoever told you that must have been smoking something

"Plecos will eat fish poop so if you have a pleco, get a common one, they're cheaper, then you never have to do water changes!"

I was told that a Tiger Oscar and a Green Sunfish could live together in a 55 gallon for life. I knew this was COMPLETELY untrue, so I walked out.
