Yes it's true that there are uncaring people in some of the chain stores, but don't lump them all together. Workink in one for four years now, I've heard more nonsense from uncaring customers who just want their fish now, who cares what its needs are. Too many fish for that tank-survival of the fittest. That fish gets too big for your tank-I'll just toss them in the lake. You shouldn't add that many fish at once-I don't want my tank to look empty.
these are the kind of things I here everyday. Meanwhile the experts at the LFS tell people things like "Convicts always eat their fry because they are related to pirahna"
Was told this was a perfectly exceptable stocking level-2 oscars,1 JD,3 tinfoils,2 jurapari,i shovelnose,1 clownknife,1 ghostknife,1 black shark,1 fire eel,1 tiretrack eel,1 pacu, and a pleco, in a 115 gallon tank with undergravel filters and no water changes.
Sorry to rant but it get tiresome hearing all the hobby's ills being blamed on the chain stores.
