Funniest thing you've over heard in the LFS

[Rlavassor86]

A couple days ago, a pair of teenagers came into the store I worked at and asked if we sold piranha. I said no they're illegal but I was thinking, where would they see piranha in the first place.

They're not illegal everywhere. Pretty much every LFS by me sells them. All diff sizes. I had 3 for almost 10 years. Very boring fish tho. I like my African cichlids a lot more.

I know my 6' 125 is very heavy. Empty is 200-250 lbs. Not to mention awkward.

Yea I've moved mine twice now. One time was up a steep flight of stairs. Probably the worst thing I have to move. Such an ordeal.

The funny thing is that absolutly no pet store sells it so it wouldn't make sense for my store to sell it.

Was at a lfs last night and a couple was looking at the various fish. They called an associate over and said they wanted three angels to take home. The store employee asked them what else was in the tank. They explained that it was an empty one gallon tank. The store employee explained that the fish would grow bigger than the tank. I thought to myself, great he's not going to send a fish home to die. Then in the next breath he talked them into a gourami, a pleco and two platys. He never told them about cycling or overstocking or anything. Oh well, guess that's how they get return customers.

Mine was just a straight shot to second floor but the stairs were really steep so it made carrying it a lot harder.

This isn't something I over heard but Oh man it was gross. I was in (insert most popular pet chain here) and I was looking at the fish, just for fun. Then the power went out and all of the pumps shut off momentarily and then powered on again. When they came back on a disgusting black mixture of decayed food and feces shot out of every pump into every tank. It was so bad that you could not see into any of the tanks, at all. The water just turned completely black, full of all their waste. So that's when I decided to buy fish elsewhere.

Yesterday, I was at work (at a freaking pet store) and showig pictures of my red devil cichlid to my coworkers, and a newly hired employee (on the blond side for intelligence, if you know what I mean) said "oh that's a big goldfish!" *facepalm*

 

[obscurereef]

LOL pretty funny, yet sad that she's working at a pet store (even if she's not in the fish section of the store). It's so disappointing when people who know next to nothing about fish sell them and give false advice (in general).

 

[Koikeeper99]

Somebody wanted to get a "nemo fish" and just buy a goldfish bowl for it... Didnt know the difference between salt and freshwater...
