I have a regular customer who doesn't listen to a thing I say. For the last two weeks I've kept him from buying fish for his tank. He's got a 55 gallon with about 40lbs of LR in it. He cycled with four damsels; which I told him he should just use the LR. The week after the brown stage ended he came in and bought 160 dollars with of fish. One week later he came in, and bought a Longnose Butterfly. He doesn't buy anything when I'm there, because I won't sell them to him. He's got a coral beauty, blue regal tang, neon dottyback, longnose butterfly, four damsels, a clown, and two gobies which he didn't know what kind they were. Well he wanted me to get him a sand-sifter goby to clean the sand. I told him several time not to get anymore fish. I listed several inverts to get that would do the same job. He wasn't having it; he wanted another fish. I actually got very6 stern with him, and told him he didn't need another fish for his tank. I even went through the possiblities if something should happen, and his water quality drops suddenly. He told me "I'll buy the fish anyways." I gave him this website address, and he wouldn't even listen to me. He told me he trusted me, but he had made up his mind. But so have I, and I'm not going to order any fish for him.
Sorry, but I had to vent. I always think that the good majority of us know not to overstock our tanks, and we know what we are doing.
