whats up,
I work in the petsmart here in town....thank god that we don't sell salt water fish, and a while back this girl about 20 and her parents came and were lookin around. I saw them holding a goldfish bowl and figured they might want a betta or something. So, as we at petsmart are suppossed to do, i went up to her and asked her if she was finding everything okay, blah blah blah. Well, she asks me if we had any nemo fish in the store. I politely told her that we did not, and was about to send her to the private guy i get my fish and corals from, whose website is www.robsreef.com. But then something crazy happened. I asked her if she was going to put a betta in her bowl and she replied, " uh, no, i thought i could put a nemo in here, i mean, it is such a small fish." Well, i thought i was going to explode, but i kindly explained to her all about how the fish needed their space and their water to be a certain way...she had no idea what i was talking about. So, after i got done with my sermon, she looked at me and said, "are you sure i can't put a nemo in here?" Wow, talk about a rough day at the petstore. I'm sure she enventually went to another LFS, where nobody likes the owner, and got her nemo in her fish bowl. Sad sad story,lol
