Keep in mind this wasn't one of the big chains either.

-all cichlids can change gender at will
-jack dempseys will eat their young at any given chance
-EBJD are dyed
-Salvini are the meanest fish out there. a young salvini can slaughter an adult midas
-severums aren't cichlids
-oscars aren't cichlids
-gouramis are cichlids
-bala sharks are real sharks that will need saltwater someday
-the cute girl who works in the dog grooming is 316... oh wait, shouldn't do this one
-red devils and red terrors are the same thing
-arowana are brackish fish
-its easy to breed blood parrots
-what looks like spawning behavior between that angelfish pair is actually fighting
-chocolate cichlids can grow 2 feet
-my bird can live forever if its taken care of properly
-tinfoil barbs only grow 6"
-african clawed frogs come from south america (this is the second time i've heard this!)



needless to say, I couldn't stop talking to this guy. he had so much "knowledge" (i say this in the loosest sense of the word) and when I tried to politely correct him, he looked at me like i was stupid. Anyways, I still bought a severum (which he proclaimed would kill all my fish) and left. realized i talked to this guy for almost an hour.
 
That is some amazing information. :ROFL:
I'm glad you bumped into him. Who would have thought, those cichlids being kept for all these years would just one day, up and change their gender on us. I'm surprised he didn't tell you that Pacus only grow 10 inches.
 
Lmao thats good stuff!
 
... soo...wheres this pet shop.....whats the guys name....his appearance....address would be a bonus... *codename 47 that fool!
 
-_-

what an LBF
 
I have heard plenty of pet store employees talking sit in order to make their sales but this guy takes the title.....How did he leave out his pacu wisdom?
