Yeah.. most people there in the fish section know as much as me or more... they are really just better at asking the routine questions when someone's tank has hit the fans....
I ended up selling those kids 6 tigers today...they came in and also got flakes, wafers, bloodworms, and a python.. yeah I sold these guys the works... the tigers were already 2" in size... I told them to wait on the balas for a few weeks and check the readings tomorrow...Our smaller balas look like ich but we'll see. They really don't know anything so I said at least a 48" tank for the balas but they do get easily over a foot so we'll see... Gotta make a sale somehow.
Some people that come in don't know ****... like got multiple types of tetras in a 5 gallon... some people know A LOT... one guy helped me out when talking about africans the other day. Some people just have way too big fish... one guy has a 100+gallon tank with an arowana... and another tank the same size with like oscars and stuff...He's hard core asian which is strange for west virginia but hey what ever.. apparantly he built the tanks himself and after all the equipment and such cost like 4 grand... WOW
It's a pretty easy job.. hardest part is juggling all the customers while doing tank maintenance.... we get really busy all the time and if im not talking to someone I'm either checking on the health of fish or cleaning some tanks... thank god they got a python...
