Didn't know what a senegal bichir is.
Said goldfish are fine in a bowl
Said bettas live only a few months.
Said all tanks need a pleco.
Refuse to believe mollies are brackish.

I've used CLR to clean tanks. They were obviously empty. It worked great.

to be honest, i do not go and ask advice of petsmart or lfs employees. i usually go in and buy what i want, already knowing the details and needs of the fish that i'm buying. i once purchased a tire track eel but the lfs employee was trying to sell me a freshwater moray eel. i don't go into the store to play "smart fish guy." i politely told her that morays are not true freshwater fish. we got into a detailed discussion about freshwater morays needing a brackish environment, at the least. i don't think it's fair to go into a lfs and ask questions for the sake of making the store clerk look foolish. they had the moray in the same freshwater tank that the tire track was in. i bought the tire track. by now, all of the lfs's in my town know me by face. they know that i'm not a rookie fish keeper.

yep yep its like waling into an auto parts store and thinking the counterman should know everything about every car ever made
 
when i was a noob, i had a african cichlid tank (that was way overstocked), and i went to petsmart and saw a cool looking fish in the mixed african cichlid tank iforgot what theycalled it but i bought it along with a channel cat that they said only grew to 6 inches. 6 months latter the channel cat was 10 inches long and the other cichlid was 11 inches long and all of my other cichlids were eaten. i did some reserch and realized that i had a jaguar cichlid. needless to say i had to get rid of both of them cause they grow to big for my 100 gal.
