Fun "Fact" From Petco

[DesktopReefer]

My local Petco hasn't even stocked saltwater fish in years

Folks that work at Petco are pretty decent people for the most part. I just don't understand how hard it is to spend 15-30 mins a day trying to learn something new to serve people better. All it takes is a computer or a mobile device with internet connection. Easiest way to make ones service better.

There is a Chinese saying that says something like, to be aware of one's ignorance is knowledge in itself. The point is, if you don't know that you are ignorant, there is no reason to seek more knowledge and wouldn't know what to look for.

You are welcome!
Just saw your profile. You work at SA? I had a chance to speak with Chris Turnier on the phone and email a while ago. Great service!

Yep! A hobby of breeding fish turned into a business almost accidentally while I was in college. After graduation, I went to work on it full-time, recruited help, and moved it to a series of buildings in the old downtown.

I like it. I can't find my early posts here before 2007, but I was one of those guys with the annoying questions like, "My clowns are laying eggs, now what?" Fortunately at the time there was a supportive group of folks in the RC Clownfish and Breeding forums to suggest a reading list and lead newbies in the right direction.

Between Darwin clownfish and regular (orange) Ocellaris clown, which do you like more?

Regular orange ocellaris is still my favorite. The fish in my avatar was one of the first I raised--it lives with its mate in Broodstock System A, Tank #1

It's even worse with Picassos and Onyx.

Are you saying that you find they are more commonly mislabeled at retail shops?
