I was at my local lfs the other day ,( just keeping an eye out what they are offering for sale ) any way, while I was there a lady came in with her 2 daughters ,then came the mammy, mammy can I have them nemo,s and dory? IE clown fish and regal tang. Of course you can the mother said , and called over the assistant ,who promptly caught them and went to the till,the lady paid for the fish, and headed for the exit. something didn't seem quite right to me , so I asked her how long she had had her marine tank ? then came the reply, I haven't got one ,she was going to put them in with her neon's. When I told her if they were lucky they would last in her tank about10 minutes she was horrified she thanked me and promptly took them back to the till and had her money back, the assistant that served her said a half hearted sorry, and off he went. I wonder how many times this has happened ? and how many marine fish ,and inverts, have ended their lives in a freshwater tank? Don't you think that all marine fish retailers should ask the question ,HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD A .SALTWATER TANK. I had a word with the owner who thanked me . HE said that he would instruct his staff to always ask from now on . hope you found this interesting . grandad.
