I work at a pet store and I get some ridiculous questions some times. I was always told there was no such thing as stupid question, so I will just call them funny questions. Anyway, these are my top five favorites.

5. Do you have any allergy eaters?
4. What type of fish can go with chinchillas?
3. I have a sucker fish, do I really need a filter?
2. I have some red fish and some yellow fish, what kind of fish go good with them?
1. Wow, do fish really grow?

Anyway, these are the questions that always make me laugh and yes they are all real. I just wanted to share some laughs with everyone. Not to be mean to people who are just . . . well not informed enough about our fishy friends.
 
How about when you are cleaning out tanks and a lady(for me it was at least) says...."ew! I dont want to have to do that! I'll just get a few big sucker fish and some big cat fish for my bowl!"
 
ROFLMAO!!!


and yes.. i know i'm awful. glad it didnt change anything. :lipssealedsmilie:
 
Oh man I just remembered the best one ever! I was talking to a customer about cycling her tank and why her water was cloudy and ammonia and etc. and she says this to me "So you are telling me that my water being cloudy is going to give my fish pneumonia and kill them?"
 
These threads always remind me why I will never have the patience to work at a fish store.
