I went to my closest
LFS to pick up some ghost shrimp and noticed they had a nice poster on the wall saying they belong to some organization that has a pact against selling large fish such as pacu, red tailed shark, and iridescent shark because they get HUGE and post home aquariums can't handle them. I thought this was admirable since it is a huge problem and then started looking at the tanks while the owner was helping another lady. You will never guess what I saw, prices on a tank for *ahem* red tailed shark and iridescent shark. I ask the owner why she has a poster on the wall saying she has a pact to not sell the fish and prices for them, she said they don't actually carry them. I then pointed out that the 5 fish in the tank were all red tails and posting a sign about having a pact to not sell the fish for a valid reason and then clearly selling them is hypocritical and really messed up. The owner was mad that I would make such a big deal out of this in front of other customers, but I feel they have a right to know the sort of people they were doing business with and I left.
Sorry I had to rant, she was basically lying to customers and ripping them off at the same time, last time I EVER walk in that store.

PS- She was selling rummynose and neon for 3.99 to give you an idea of her pricing
