Funny story

This past Sunday I was at my LFS looking for a nice ram (ended up with 2)
any way while I was standing there enjoying all the species of fish this women walks up to the little glow-fish tank and starts screaming about how dyed fish are in human and she is gathering up her kids and making a big scene the poor girl that works there was trying to explain that they don't sell dyed fish that those fish are Biologically created they are crosses with jelly fish well this women starts calling the girl a liar to the point she almost had tears in her eyes

I stepped in and informed the lady that she was right dyed fish is cruel but the fish she is getting made about are created using DNA from jelly fish.. A few other people joined in to help the girl that worked there out.

The girl was so thankful she gave me one of my rams for free

Great job! Some people are not well educated in the world of fish, but act like they know everything. You did a good thing by sharing your knowledge. Hopefully that lady will start doing some more research before she accuses people!

Hope you enjoy your ram, +10 awesome points for that one. Also +15 for bombing that rather ignorant aquarist, she needs a lesson fish that for sure.

Bishop- What LFS to you go to? I am in Nashua and want to try to find a few good ones. I am currently going to the Fish Bowl in Milford, but I think Derry would be closer for me. Any suggestions?

PS Sorry for the hijack

This was seaworld in Salem on 28 its not the newest store. Some people give the place a bad rep becuase it looks old inside but my thoughts are the people who work there know a lot and if they dont know they grab a book and look it up plus they have a lot of hard to find fish and can order almsot anything..Personaly I've never had a problem with there fish.

I can understand the woman's response. The glo danios sure do look like they've been died. Nearly nothing in nature has those colors.
However, to immediately fly off the handle like that is just wrong.
You did the right thing (and got rewarded for it, a bonus).
