at that lps all the sens had missing and torn fins and i have been given very odd advice , most of the fish look alright most of the time especially the more commonm ones but they can't seem to figure out the more exotic ones and in spite of a highly simplified compatibility chart they still seem to come up with bonkers room mates .Needless to say I went to the petsmart across town to get my sen and knife no torn fins in their tank ,no ick or obviously ill fish in any tanks. tanks are clean except the snail population which they regularly scooped and given to the chichlids, even their feeders are healthy. They told me up front that my senegal and knife would eventually need at least a 55 gallon tank, and they actually seemed to care about making sure I didn't overstock my tank or add all my fish at once. also they are much more reasonably priced I even prefer to get dog food there it is cheaper even with the d*mn gas prices prices.
Will it never end? More lame customer moves.

good pet store, im jealous. mine has one puffer a month and basic fish like guppys and tetras. ill buy a guppy and breed it sometimes just cuz im bored lol
sorry the petsmart rarely has puffers I wish they had them instead of the closer lps they would probably be better off. Of the two local Fish stores I can find one has a small selection the other has better fish and a better selection he could probably find me a delhzi but I don't trust his advice after he told me endli's only got 12-14" in aquariums or that fish won't outgrow tanks!!!!!
lol now THATS crap advice... i thought mine gave advice saying 8 oscars in a 10g would be ok as long as you didnt feed them...
first--- oscars need like 55+ gallons at least
second---DONT FEED THEM????????? all im saying is WOOOOWWWWWW!

We had a guy come in to our the other week who wanted to buy a 10" Redtaiil cat that we had taken in and i asked his tank size he said 4x18x12 i said that wont do he said hes upgrading to a 6x18x18 i told him yo considerit when he gets a 10ft tank then he got the face on and stormed out.
my local petsmart is pretty good, usually all the fish are healthy, only problem is they keep the pea puffers with the spotted climbing pearches, and thus there is always a lack of puffers
Sorry, no fish store but heres mine:
Used to work at the local library in the computer room. Basically its a bunch of computers with internet access, 18 for district residents, 2 for non-district. You had a 1 hour garuntee of work and after that you could be asked to leave if needed. There were 2 printers we had to keep track of and charge for printouts.
Patron: I'm not from your district, can I use a computer?
Me: Sure, but both our out of district computers are used.
P: but theres a bunch of open other computers
M: sorry but those are for district residents
P: Well how can I get on a computer
M: Wait an hour, theres plenty to read, or go to your home districts computer room.
Lots of porn people. Like the ~19 year old guys that come in, I throw them on a computer in front of me cause I know the type. The skip that computer, go to one next to the wall and turn the monitor facing the wall. Walk behind them and theres all sorts of stuff on the computer, which is like 5 feet from a 14 yr old girl. Seriously... get your jollies somewhere less public.
Some crazy dude came in. Started spouting off how he has been a patron before the library was open blah blah. Then asked where I go to school. I reply to him (theres a hospital with the school). He steps back and goes "Ohh I don't like you people from there. Just because your different doesn't mean your crazy". *WARNING WARNING DANGER WILL ROBINSON* flashed in my head. The janitor, guy a bit older then me, was there and asked if I needed anything. I said to stick around. 5 mins go by and this prick is still spouting off. By this time the dept head is there, the security guard, and the janitor. Then he says "I don't care, call the cops on me." We all look at eachother (no one had mentioned calling them). I ask, "So let me get this straight, you WANT US to call the police on YOU? You want to get the police here for you?" He said yes, so we did. Cop comes, talked with the guy for like 2 mins, comes out and says "Well that guys a few sandwiches short of a picnic." I got moved to another area till he left cause I couldn't stop smirking and it was causing the guy to go even more nuts.
There was also this big fat lady with 3 kids. She'd drag the kids to the library just so she could go on dadting sites for 3 hours a night. She skipped her sons "battle of the books" because she was too busy trying to find a man.
The stupid people who take the mouse and try to touch the screen with it to work were fun too.
Now I work in a hospital. I don't think that "Hey your still the idiot from 6 months ago who has left your 98 yr old dad on life support. No he's not getting better, we said that when he came in he was pretty much gone and he's only alive because of the meds hes basically living on. No those fingers and toes won't get better, they are falling off because he's clamped down because of meds we're giving and he's also in septic shock. What? You still want everything done... you realize that he's 98 and didn't want this, right?" is funny anymore.
