Aquarium Advice FINatic
Just this month I got a job at our local fish store, and now they're considering firing me because I keep discouraging people from buying fish that are not compatible with their tanks.
Eg. These people really liked the juvenile pacus we had and were considering buying them. Another employee had already bagged one for them, when I asked what size of tank they had. They said 10 gallon and I told them about how the pacu will grow up to two feet and would be much to big for their tank. So then the other employee complained to the manager that I'm discouraging people from buying fish .
They also get mad at me when I tell people not to get a full bioload before their tanks are cycled.
The way I see it is that if all their fish die, the customers would get discouraged and quit the hobby, but if I show them how to do it right, they would come back and buy more tanks/supplies. </rant>
