i know! and so, so many people are like "you have to get a suckerfish for your 10 gallon, they clean awesome!". and even with the reptiles-"what can i get for my 10 gallon?"-a bearded dragon, water dragon, green iguana, or 2 leopard geckos."

its like, if i could reach through my computer and just cuff those tools, i wouldn't even hesitate lol
 
Well, I don't work at an LFS but I was there a few days ago, and I couldn't help but listen to a conversation between a father and his son. First, they walked to the tank containing the shark catfish. The son comments on how cool they look, and asks the dad if he can get some. The dad tells the son he can get a few for his tank, to use as bottom feeders. Sounds okay at that point, but then I hear the size of the tank, which just happens to be a five gallon, and is most likely not even brackish. So, then something even worse happens. They walk over to the black arowana tank. The dad asks his son if he wants to get that for his tank. The son says yes, and the dad is about to get it. Luckily, he sees the price tag, and both fish are saved.:thumbsup:
 
The price tag is what saves alot of fish IMO. But unfortunatly, some things are just to cheap....

I've bought one neon tetra before. I had a school of 10, but like fish better in odd number schools, so I bought the one I needed to "round out" the school.

Fair play to you, I prefer odd numbers too
 
Some more instant customer classics from tonight:

a) Customer: Do you have 75 gallon tanks used?
Me: No
C: How much is a new one?
m: $179 Tank top and light, $139 for the stand
C: $179? Does that include the stand?
M: No that includes the tank, top and light.
C: How much is the stand?
M: (Saw at wrists with plastic fork)

This person was shopping for a tank because they had a pair of oscars in a 20 gal with a festae, two unidentified catfish, and a bunch of other stuff that they listed while I was trying to end my life prematurely.

b) C: What are some easy plants
m: (points to easy low light plants)
C: What about that one?
M: No, just the ones I showed you, the others would probably die with your setup.
C: What about that one?
M: No. That one needs iron and potassium supplemts and CO2.
C: I don't want that. I want it to be really easy. All I want to do is put the food in, I haven't changed any water on my other two tanks for two years, and my fish are fine.
M: That's great, do you always admit to strangers that you are lazy in addition to being stupid?

c) C: I bought a bunch of these plants and they all died. All the other plants are OK, but these died after three days.
m: What kind of lighting do you have?
C: Oh, I have really good lighting.
m: What kind is it?
C: Uhhhh....I don't know.
m: What size are the bulbs? Like this? (T8 size)
C: YEAH! The big ones like that!
m: That's why they died, you don't have sufficient lighting for those plants. Also, I have no idea why you are wearing camouflage, hunting season is over. I hate your whole family.

Latest one.

M: How big is tank
