These mini/desktop aquariums piss me off!!!

I agree about employees having to take tests. And you're right about those naughty kids. They should have parental supervision, and there should be an employee who makes rounds there every few minutes. It once took me an entire hour to get someone to help me, and he wasn the inexperienced employee that gave me the 17 fish.

I applied for jobs at Petsmart and Walmart (under hardline which is supposed to be for fish). I love animals (esp. fish) but there has not been a reply... i could swear I'd do a far better job than most of their current employees, despite my age (16) and no prior work experience! If they have civil service exams for civil office, why not for jobs (though these tests would center around the jobs being sought)?

That was a bit off the original topic, but I could help save fishies if I got a job there... Oh well.

That happened to one of my friends who had never had fish before. She had 2 plattys, a molly, and a cory (all full grown) in a two gallon tank. I told her she was over crowding but she just said that there were that many on the box. She wound up loosing all of them in just 2 weeks.

Why didn't she believe you? Why would she risk killing those fish when she has an aquarist w/ experience (I'm guessing you have at least a little)?

I still think they should have disclaimers on the boxes. It would have supported what you said and she would have no doubt listened to you.
