Why you should always do your OWN research...

[michika]

I admit I did try to correct the employee, but it was not well received. The individual even pulled out Scott Michael's 500 fish book (I think that is what it is called) and tried to show me it was a damsel....

I chaulked the experience up to an overzealous and cocky employee, and left it at that. I was polite, offered to show the employee in the book which fish it was and explain why I thought/knew it was that fish. They wouldn't have it.

Needless to say one of the 5 fish they had in the tank isn't there any longer...and I think while I was still there I saw the same employee recommend the little yellow fish to people just starting out in the hobby.
