Hahah! Love the replies.
We thought it was funny. And yeah, the place started in a P and ended in a D.

As for the 15 tangs in a small tank, I used to work at a petstore, and we had troubles with one lady that came in, claiming she had multiple tanks (Freshwater, mind you). And every second day she'd bring back a dead fish and want a refund, and she'd scan coupons so she didn't have to pay for anything. (This never lasted with me, but unfortunately not every employee knew who she was). Finally she bought 2 pacus (that were just under 12") because she told the employee she had a 180G tank, brought THOSE back in 2 days later, and I was the one working. Lets just say that...yes...i did open my mouth. :redface:

I wouldn't know where she'd get a fish tasting like dandelion! Hopefully she hasn't tasten either, especially to compare, but I can't say that for sure! I just had to chuckle because the customers were like "Ohhh, I get it, self defense".

:lol::lol:

I used to work for the company and I can say that not everyone who works there was like that, but there were a few. I know the person responsible for training etc and he's a standup guy...just with such a high turnover it doesn't surprise me that some people are being told made up facts.

Just goes to prove that everything should be taken with a grain of salt...

Even more so when it comes to SALT WATER! At least 1/2 cup per gallon!

You guys on a water meter? Don't be afraid to toss them in the shower. It'll be better for your tastebuds :)

When I was 14 years old I spent the summer visiting and touring Venezuela and I also fished the Rio Orionoco. There I caught a 24"+ Pleco (I didn't know it was a Pleco at the time). It was a dinosaur! It had scales along its' back and sides just like a dinosaur. My uncle took the fish and knocked on the first hut/shack and offered the fish to the old woman in black and told her that we could all partake of it if she would cook it. I couldn't bring myself to accept that invitation and now will never know what a pleco really tastes like!

Its super time now so I won't tell you about the toothless old, old woman in the bannana plantation that was preparing corn patties by gumming corn kernels, shaping it in her gnarled hands and tossing it on hot rocks to cook.

I lost a lot of weight that summer in '65

I dont know what pleco tasts like but I have heard that Tangs are very tasty. Or at least I have read it on the internet so it must be true.

You can actually buy a whole assortment of fresh greens, (like basil leaves, mustard greens, dandelion greens) at the grocery store. Most IGA/Safeway/Save-on stuff like that have them! They are actually highly nutritious too!

(I never said anything about how they taste though - im a carnivore :razz: - Almost )

parrot fish are yum-i-licious. Had some when I was in Tahiti...mmmmmmm

I add dandelions in my salad sometimes...well the greens...either I eat them or the beardies do, whatever. :D Radiccio...now that's a bad tasting lettuce..unless there's salt, olive oil and balsamic vinegar with fresh vine picked tomatoes...then it's not so bad :D

MMMM Now I'm hungry
