sadly this kind of stuff goes on way too much in smaller pet stores. i love and have much respect for reputable dealers that wont order anything until they are fully understanding of every need the creature has and gives their customer a clear disclaimer as well if the fish is not an "easy" specimen to keep. i had a friend get in and out of SW very quickly because i told him that he need to keep his fish load low, but every other person told him, ah one more wont hurt until he ended up going through over 50 fish before his tank even was a month old. mainly because the other pet stores and even other people at the one i worked at would over stock tanks then under feed to make up for it and then have to force livestock on people without telling them what the fish truly needs just to keep the system from crashing or us loosing a bunch.
