I can't wait until I'm old enough to work, I think I will work at one of my fav LFS. I think it is good that every single fish store owner is different or else everyone might only specialize in a couple types of fish.

On my last trip to Petsmart I was standing there as a lady asked for 25 goldfish and the employee didn't even flinch or ask any questions before going to get them. I was in a hurry or I would've butted in and ask what size "pond" these 25 common's where going in. Now that I look back I shoud've said something. I just hope that they were going into a pond and not a 10 gallon tank! Probably not....next time I'll speak up.

I'm with Tony. I would have been ROTFLMBO! Saying "WHAT?, That's a joke right?"...anyway we have a Petco and a Petsmart near us. The Petco always has the sickest looking fish so I never go in there. Now the Petsmart has a girl working there who really knows her fish and there fish always look good. She's always puttering around doing something related to the fish. Good sign. Shes' the only one that I will deal with. The others don't know anything so I don't even bother to talk to then. She has gotten to know me and if she's not there I just walk out and come back another time. But now that I have my own store and suppliers I don't go there much anymore.

They might have been going to feed a bigger fish, I personally woudn't feed my Cichlids petstore fish, I raise my own feeders, but a lot of people buy them, especially if they're cheap.
