Bu how many times have I been to (store) and witnessed people with a shopping cart that included a tank kit in a box, and a handful of fish bags with too many fish for the tank they were buying? Too many times!
That they would sell a tank and suggest fish in the same visit is insane. To then sell them a bio-load car beyond that tank's capacity even if fully cycled is bordering on criminal.
Nothing like hearing a (store) Employee (or (store), or....) loading up a tank for someone, handing them a bottle of water conditioner and telling them too hook it all up, fill it up, pu a couple of drops in, then dump in all these pretty fishes and all will be fine....
Makes me want to slap someone!!!!
Its sad they do this. But thankfully I'm getting back on track. You can also look at it two ways:
1) they're out for money so they just sell you stuff, and its their fault for giving you the wrong information.
2) Its also your fault for not doing your homework about something you know nothing about.
I don't soley blame my LFS for me being in this situation. I should've researched first, since I didn't do my "homwork" and they, in general, do this the "wrong" way. That's how I ended up like this.
