The one thing that really ticks me off is the inch per gallon rule that petsmart and petco use. How i know it doesnt apply is because it is saying that u could stick a full grown red tailed catfish in a 55 gallon tank and u would still have more room for fish. Its absoutly outrageous. Now for fish like tetras the inch per gallon rule i dont honestly know if it okay for them ive never kept small schooling fish but thats what ive heard. The other thing is the people who work their arent likely to know anything about fish, like when i first started i bought a filter heater gravel etc... And they said you would be ready 2 days later for fish. Well of course i listen to them cause i knew nothing on fish and i bought 15 fish large and small and the only thing that survived was a pleco and 2 mollies. Of course they said oh yeah thell all be fine in a 30 gallon. I rarely buy fish from petsmart any more now. So anyways i totally disagree with the inch per gallon rule for most fish
