Things Non-fish nuts say

**Fishfirst** · 08-14-2005, 11:43 PM

I had to laugh at some people today at petsmart. We get some people in that just say something funny or pronounce something totally wrong.
Here are some of those, feel free to add what you've heard

1. Childed
2. Chichlid
3. PleCLOMISis
4. Wow, It's nemo! (pointing to the tiger barbs or clown loaches)
5. I have a school of Irridesent sharks in my 10 gallon
6. You need a different kind of tank for saltwater.
7. I can just add table salt right?
8. Do your piranha's attack your hand when you put it in the tank?
9. Allergy Eaters
10. What else can I put in this bowl besides a betta?

1: angels and neons are great tankmates
2: I have 3 goldfish in my 2.5 gallon, and they're doing great (LOL i bet they like relaxing on their backs a lot too!)

solar-ton · 08-15-2005, 08:31 PM

1.dyed fish are born that way

**Baby_Baby** · 08-15-2005, 08:34 PM

"oh that fish? no he's not dead, he's resting" (i have heard this before! thats what makes it so sad!)

fishfreaks · 08-15-2005, 11:19 PM

I always say if they wanted people to pronounce cichlids right they would have spelled it SICK LID lol. I admit, we said this until we stood corrected! I love the allergy eaters one! I remember this one kid wanted to buy a giant gourami for a 10 gallon tank, that had a parrot fish in it! Luckily the person told them they wouldnt sell the fish to him since it's not suitable for his tank!

euRasian32 · 08-15-2005, 11:31 PM

Idiot savant: what kind of fish do you have?
Me: an arowana
Idiot: you're growing marijuana???
My thought bubble: (you should have been swallowed at birth)

So I just say, "it's a topswimming jumper fish", and i have to say it really slow and hand them a helmet, then point towards the short bus.

____

My favorite mispronunciation of cichlids, is chiclets.

I have angels with my neons and they are great tankmates - but y'know why? the angels aren't full grown yet - and my ABF get the neons before anyone else has a chance to...

yeah neons are full-grown angelfish's natural food in the wild hehe - so really not good tank mates

--------

ok i was in walmart once in the fish section and this lady was buying newts and some neon tetras. well - the guy who works in the pet section gets this bag, puts a bit of water in it, and then sticks both the neon tetras and the newts in the same bag...bet those newts were saying DINNER TIME!

So i said: Those newts will eat the neon tetras you know...

He looks all confused(while the woman buying them begins to look worried) and he just says "Oh really??" so finally he gets another bag and sticks the newts and tetras in diff bags...

bet those newts ate all her neon tetras when she got them home and stuck them in her tank...

maxpayne_lhp · 08-16-2005, 09:58 AM

lol that's funny, sooner or later I'm afraid that the neons will RIp...

Lydia · 08-17-2005, 08:04 AM

LMAO eurasian!

A guy at the petshop told me the fish wasnt really dead, it was just sleeping (on its back too!). I think he was kidding though.....I hope so...

**Baby_Baby** · 08-17-2005, 09:54 AM

ya I've heard that too, but some guy told it to some little kids. ha ha ha ha ha

solar-ton · 08-17-2005, 09:57 AM

Lexus · 08-17-2005, 02:59 PM

**TheOldSalt** · 08-17-2005, 11:24 PM

Who here besides me has visions of the classic Monty Python "Parrot Sketch" when reading about the resting fish?

flynngriff · 08-18-2005, 07:42 AM

If I hadn't nailed that fish down, he would have muscled up to that lid, pushed it open with his head and... VOOM!

That fish wouldn't "VOOM" if you put 4 million volts through it!
