I do feel for the employees because I know they aren't usually given the tools they need. I've seen several situations where they have gotten stock, been told it's one fish and it's a totally different fish. Sometimes they get it under the scientific names and sometimes the common.. sometime sit's just wrong all around. It's hard to sell something you know nothing about.
My local Petsmart tells people that the 1 inch per gallon rule means a 4 inch fish can be in a 4 gallon tank. They told me a GBR would be ok in a 2.5 gallon.
I never look at those. I research most of the time before I buy fish.
