I was warned in my petsmart to not to tell people about fishless cycle; against petsmart policy so I wrote petsmart a letter hopefully they will get it.
So dont blame the employees blame the business like petsmart, petco not training there staff and letting people know how to setup tanks properly.
Most customers anyway in petsmart I noticed want to do it there way and dont care, they want a tank and fish right away.
That's because PetSmart doesn't want you to do a fishless cycle. They instead want you to have to use their products to remove ammonia and other "problems" from the water. And unfortunately, I've heard several people talk about problems they were having with a new fish and the pet store than sold them all these various medications. But based on their descriptions, the "problem" was actually ammonia poisoning.
