i had to go in petsmart the other day, as everywhere else local was shut or sold out, and they have set up a rocky cichlid tank (which is actually not too awful), and then they put a few clowns in it :evil: :evil: :evil: they are really pale and seem to spend most of their time hiding under the filter.

they are promoting the tank as "marine fish without the cost", and the mananger thought that clown loaches would be good as an alternative to clown fish. what a pillock.

seeing as the manager had put the clowns in, the worker i complained to couldnt take them out, when i complained he said there wasnt much he could do about it.

Emma would you mind if i printed out your article on why you mustnt keep clowns with african cichlids, and some of your pictures, to send to this idiot, along with a letter?
