idiots who work for pets at home

[scothunter 12,609]

wasnt the one in edinburgh corstorphine was it?!? :laugh: :laugh:

i have a 65litre tank and had 2 golfish and 4 cherry barbs in it, i went in and tried to buy 2 other of the same breed only to be told she wasnt selling me them because barbs are only meant to live with other barbs, she was like you cant do that and i told her well i am! anyway she wouldnt sell me them so i went to the one at livingston and they were sound as a pound. now i think of it she looked like a lesbo and probably couldnt bare to part with the smell of fish?

 

nah falkirk store mate,went in for a lead needed one quick.yea they talk to you like you were 5year old lol

Ok was in the store and was looking around and saw those bio orb fish tanks looked pretty cool.so i says to the girl how much are they?60litre is 200 but you cant keep goldfish in them.when i asked why she says cause they are round goldfish swim in straight lines.anyway wasnt going to get involved in it wih the daft cow,i said i was gonna keep a shoal of neons in it.she then said well you cant keep a shoal max would be 8.i was like its f*****g 60litres i think ill get more than 8 in it.well thats the law and we wont sell you it haahhhhaa i mean how stupid is she.daft wee lassies working in a pet store who think they are the next david attenburgh.

I HATE PETS AT HOME.They are the total idiots of the aquatics trade...you cant keep to or so neons in there but you can keep goldfish which are very messy fish with a natural maximum size of 10 inches

 

Oh and biorbs are terrible fish tanks, they have a very small surface area so not enough gass exchange for most fish and the filtration system is total usless

cheers for that mate,i was thinking of getting one as they look pretty smart,but if there more a hassle to keep then ill forget it.had a tank before dont really want another just thought that one would be less hassle.

goldfish are coldwater fish,cherry barbs are tropical ......

 

As regards pets at home they are pathetic,took my pals daughter to buy her a small starter fish tank they wanted name,address and 20 questions.....but was still willing to allow me to purchase the tank and fish on the same day !

temperature is at 22-23 degrees and they are fine, if anything the goldfish are more lively!

My guess is you dont need an awful lot of knowledge to work in their fish departments....i find it quite funny when they try giving folk advice who have forgot more about aquatics than they will ever know....their advice on stocking levels is basically 1 inch of fish per gallon of water.....regardless of species !....which equates to roughly 3 x 4 inch fish in a 60 litre tank.....prats.

Off topic, but a guy in the flat next door had a big tropical fish tank. Power cut one morning, when he got back all his fish were dead. Saw him going down town asked him if he was going to restock. He said, "Nah, goin' down chippy. Make the best of a bad job."
