Well as most of you know i work at a Local Fish Store in MI nice place but i dont agree with some of the desicons the manger makes :wall: well lately there has been this really nice kid about 14-15 yeays old that comes in every day on his bike and just looks arounmd for hours. ive talked to him a couple times but he doesnt say much. so today he came in and i said hi he said how are you and so on, i asked him if he had any tanks he said no saldy my parents dont have the money for a big tank like i want. i felt really bad, i asked him what fish he really like and he said Kribs. i told of really we just got a nice shipment of these guys in he asked if he could see them so i took him into the back of the store and showed him some albino one he feel in love with them :grinyes: i said how far do you live from here he told me about a mile i asked if his parents would care if i got him a 40 gallon tank s he called them and his mom said how are you going to pay for that i talked to her for a min. and said hes going to be my assistant. he looked shocked. i told him you will enjoy it. so i drove him home with 4 kribs 2 normal and 2 albino a 40 gallon fish tank a HOB fliter and a bag of sand it cost be about $400 but hes working for me without pay so it should be covered in no time i told him to use flower pots as deco. so i just thought id share with you what i went through today lol
 
That is awesome nano! :clap:

What a cool thing to do for a kid. He'll also have the benefit of learning the right stuff from you while working it off. Thanks for sharing... when I read the title, I was like "oh no" expecting the worst, but it put a smile on my face. Enjoy the good karma! :D
 
lol, sounds like a nice thing to do, but you completely missed the opportunity to teach the kid how important it is to cycle the tank before you get the fish. . . . . what's the plan for this now?
 
oh i didnt mention that i agve him oe of your hob fliters i didnt think you would all really care but yes he has a 50 gallon hob fliter ith used fliter media. oh and sorry for my bad grammer lol

:laugh: I thought the same thing.

Hey I donated some food to a food bank last week, but didn't explain proper nutrition... now I feel bad.
 
TERRIFIC!!!!

That was so nice of you. Its nice to know there are good people in the world. I'm sure the kid will want to work at your store when he's 16.

Glad you were a good samaratin
