I was in a petco many many years ago. There was this old couple buying a clownfish for their anemone. It’s jaw was rotten off. When the employee left I said, “you should not but that fish, it will not survive”. She told me “it is just too cute not to get and that her anemone needed a clownfish”. The employee came back, apparently he was going around asking other employees if they new lighting requirements of an anemone, she was trying to buy new bulbs for it. The employee asked me, and I said more than “likely no, no light you sell here can support one, especially not one that takes the bulb you’re holding.” The woman, getting annoyed at me, says “well it’s been doing just fine for the last 2 months... I got it with my tank”. At this point the sales guy as serious as can be asks her to show me the picture on her phone. She busts out her phone and shows me a purple lta. The employee repeats the question... “will any of our bulbs work?” I look at him and her, I’m beyond frustrated, and I’ve waisted 20 minutes during all of this. As I turn my back on them and walk off I repeated, “do not buy that fish, everything you have now will die if you do, including your anemone.”
Why was I so frustrated? The anemone was a picture of an lta on a background. Yes, a picture.
