a talk with a petco employee

[A.T.T.R]

some lady ( looked like a crack addict no joke lol) came to the lfs i work at a few weeks ago

she was complaining that all the snails she bought died and so on
i asked her if she aclimated them and she said she just floated them .

i told her the salinity change could kill them and she asked what my salinity was at

i told her it varies from 1.022 to 1.026 witht he invert tank usualy at 25-26

she proceeded to FLIP OUT about how " that is way to high i used to be the aquatic specialist at petco and we kept our tanks at 1.018 so that no paracites"blablabla " i keep my tank at 1.015"

i pointed out that is why she killed them.


anyways 1.018 being what they are supposed to keep them at. who came up with that!!!
