About LinkBacksIt strikes me how intelligent Pet Smart employees are.
I was in there on boxing day. and asked them what fish would be suitable for my tank.
Suprisingly, they started to tell me about 1 inch per gallon rule.
So I asked her, Can you put an 18 inch oscar in a 20 gallon tank.
The answer : yes

PetSmart should really be called PetDumb. This kind of crap drives me crazy. I've contacted management a few times over stuff like this, as well as trying to gently educate the employee...not their fault management doesn't train them.
And I don't shop there unless I absolutely can't avoid it.

Unfortunately, they are my best bet. Now that Pet habitat in brentwood is closing and metrotown one is selling more dogs and cats than fish.

I've actually started boycotting Petsmart, one in particular, after seeing a reptile that shouldn't have been sold due to illness. He was so deformed, my vet wanted to see him ASAP, but they still went & sold him after speaking with 2 managers & contacting head office 3 times.

Edarion, if you're near Metrotown, you're close to J&L, IPU and King Ed's, to name a few. Way better options for fish stuff, and King Ed's does dog/cat stuff as well.

I'm guessing that the pet store employee was only thinking about the fish they had in the tanks you were looking at, and was trying to be helpful.
