So, I got a job at a local pet store last week and decided to come in a extra day. Sure enough, people came to by betta fish. A man asked me if I could baggage up a Dragon Scale betta for him, so I did. At the checkout I asked him "Do you have a tank for your new fish?" He said "A filtered tank? My son has a bowl..." and then he went on about how his son said bowls were okay.

Three hours later, a little girl and her mom come in to buy a CrownTail betta. They said they lived an hour away from the pet store, so I packaged it in a cup with a sealed lid for them, I added a bit of food too. I asked them if they had a tank for it, and the mom said they were buying one. I recommended several 3 gallon starter kits, but the mom said "Too expensive" or "Too fancy" Her daughter said "Look over here, mommy!" and pointed at the tanks made by the company "Betta" The tank was tiny and pink.

Seriously, people need to RESEARCH before getting fish. Badly.

So today a customer asked for some Ghost Shrimp for their tank, and we happened to be out at the moment. I suggested some mini lobsters like the albino mini lobsters, but they said "Lobsters are sea food, why do you even sell them?" Then I explained to them how minis are not sea food, but they still said "You need to sell Ghost Shrimp, their easier to care for."

Shrimp and lobsters are pretty much the same thing, at least part of the same family, anyhow.
