Saw a 600g today.

The tank is probably less than 2 weeks old. To start off, I want to say it was beautiful, but after I got a look at the stocking, I really felt sick. They had two full grown coral beautys, on opposite sides of the tank (wonder why...). They had 6 full grown yellow tangs, about 15 full grown assorted clowns, several scopas tangs, a naso tang, a blue tang, and I counted 5, yes FIVE scooter bennies. GRRRR.

As if that isn't bad enough, they had TWO sea apples. I feel so bad for those fish. I wanted to say something so bad, but a unshaven teenager in jeans in a multimillion dollar jewlery store wouldn't of made an impression.

 

[Subliminal]

Well...at least not the impression you were going for.

 

[Grins]

UGH... and all that in 2 weeks? You're right, most my age would not listen to a teenager in casual attire telling us we are so grossly wrong. But grossy wrong is what they are.

That's too bad. When I worked at the LFS, I had a lady calling me constantly that she was having problems with her brand new tank. She would not listen to the help I tried to give her. Turns out she wanted instant gratification. She stocked her tank way to heavy even before it was completely cycled. She, of course, went to another LFS to stock her tank. Then she would come crying to me that everything was dead or dying. She then decided to sell her tank because it was making her sick. The poor animals never had a chance with her.

I can tell you that when I stated SW I wanted to just add the fish right away and I would have over stocked the tank, luckily I had a great LFS that cared and told me just to slow down and let the tank settle and add fish over time and I listened.

I hear you riverserver, Im an 18 year old that wears jeans all the time. I work at a pet store (nothing saltwater is sold there which is very inconveinent) and i dont mean to brage or anything but i no more about every animal in the store then the employees hired to work in specific sections. they actually ask me questions. but yeah customers never take me seriously. a couple do but ive made good connections to them from the beggining. but if i was you i would of been scraping the owner of that store.
