Ah yes, I guess that is a five gallon. It's so small, I don't know the difference.

Re: Petco blog makes them look like the morons they are.
All kinds of craptacular advice. This was my favorite:
I'd love to ask the Petco "experts" what exactly that accomplishes.... it is essential to let the water filter run for a couple of days before adding any fish
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.

Re: Petco blog makes them look like the morons they are.
I just can't get over the fact that they thought a five gallon fish tank was suitable for a fish that gets to be the "size of a golf ball".

Re: Petco blog makes them look like the morons they are.
I'd like to, but for some reason it isn't letting me actually post anything to the site. My computer isn't recognizing the comment box.
They posted that to their Facebook this morning.

Re: Petco blog makes them look like the morons they are.
Actually, under the care of their advice, a GSP will get to the size of a golf ball. I imagine a premature death of a morbidly obese juvenile would be about that.
