Of course that makes them idiots.
Or it could be that he is color blind and expressing how he sees the yellow or even the pink. I do it all the time. My wife just corrects me and moves on. Last time I did it I called lime green orange.

I know it's not about fish, but I used to work with reptiles. There's a product called Provent-A-Mite that is used to treat reptiles affected with skin mites. It's occasionally referred to as PAM. Anyway, a lady purchased some geckos and took them to the vet claiming that they had mites. He told her to treat them with PAM. He should have been more clear. She killed all her geckos by spraying them with Pam cooking spray.

Hoping this one won't violate the UA, if the mods don't like it, please edit or delete.
I am a aquarium service guy, and while walking into a MD's office, a gentleman saw my 3 foot Python siphon tube in my bucket, and quickly stated that is the largest ...uh well... pump that he'd EVER seen. Of course, I was a bit shocked, so I just smiled and continued about my business. The kicker though, was the little old lady sitting in the waiting room with him that overheard his comment. She was mortified!!

Had a guy come into the shop where I go asking the owner why his fish kept dying. trying to help, he kept asking questions. finally asking about SG. He said he had no idea, but he has been mixing the salt water till it tasted salty and putting it in the tank. the other two of us that were in the shop kinda perked up at this point. owner asked him what he was using for salt. He said....Morton cuz it cheaper. amazingly the owner kept a steight face, sold him the correct salt. as soon as he left we all burst out laughing. The owner said that was the second time hed had that happen in the past 20 years.

One reef to rule them all
One of my tanks is a simple 10g from walmart with a 10g sump (basically two of the same tank) and it has two clowns in it. Clown really don't need much room at all. People keep them in 10g "Biocubes" all the time. The difference is that my "Biocube" cost me 10 bucks!

Oh man... Just after Christmas in a retail pet store is fun!
Some lady last night got mad as hell because the person working in aquatics was trying to explain to her that she couldn't keep 3 goldfish (already about 4-5" in length) in a 1 gallon fish bowl.
One customer said he's had a lot of algae issues lately & he's had fish dieing off. I started asking the typical questions & I told him it sounds like nitrates & that he should do a 25% water change to get started & that if he doesn't have a test kit he could bring it in & I'd test it for him.
He comes back a few hours later with a water sample & tells me he went ahead & did a 25% water change. I put the test strip in & let it develop.
The square for nitrates turned a deep red. The chart stops at 300ppm & this was darker than that. I said "Holy s***."
"Is it bad?"
"To be honest- yes. The nitrates are so high the test kit doesn't even have a number for it. Did you take this sample before or after your water change?"
"After."
---
Some of the employees are even worse. My GM doesn't think we need to spend the time doing bigger water changes because it's just a waste of time. Instead she just has us scrub off the algae. Then when it all grows back the next day her explanation is that we're just lazy & don't know what we're doing.
She was trying to sell a customer a 10,000k (or 12,000k, I can't remember) bulb for his FW tank. After she walked away I asked if he wanted his tank to have a blue hue to it. He looked at me funny & said no. Then I showed him the graph on the side that shows the color spectrum of the bulb & what it meant.

Best phone call I ever received:
Do you sell colorful aquatic fish?

What gets me, is that every week I have at least 1 customer who comes in wanting goldfish for their aquarium. So I show them the fantails- 3/$7.50, or the fancy goldfish (oranda's, lionheads, etc)= 3.99. And they keep on probing until I tell them about the feeders. And the conservative ones that want to look like high spenders buy 3 fantails or 2 fancy goldfish and 2-3 dozen feeder fish.
