Betta Bites

This started cause a customer asked me for a “Dory” fish today for her 10 gallon, freshwater, uncycled tank. Sorry nope nope. (And it begins)

Common Plecos in Bad Homes (aka anything less than a 150 gallon tank:

-I appreciate that you care but I’ve had them before, my longest one lived for 5 months. 

-You know what. I’ve heard that from the internet and you guys but I’ve never had one grow that large, so you guys are incorrect.

Gold Fish:

Why can’t you give me 3 (half a gallon tub) and let me go on my way.

Its for the kids to play with

20 gallon is too big for one fish, are you sure I can’t have 10?

Ciclid: 

-I heard if you put them in a small container they’ll stay small anyways 

Tetras:

-But having one kind of fish is boring in my 10, can’t I just get one of each? (Neon/Skirt/Emperor etc.)

-They don’t HAVE to school do they?

Bettas: 

-Well you guys have them in cups, I’m giving them a better home (0.75 gallon tank/nofilter/no heater)

Darnest things customers say: That literally makes my heart ache.

-Fish are disposable pets

They(Tiger Barbs) were so aggressive so I flushed them down the toilet (alive)

I’m so sick of this frog, can I flush it down the toilet? Does that make me a bad person?
