Walk right by.

LFs will base their sales on what they are able to sell.
Stunting fish is a low practice indeed...
How come you recommend it?
Just pass on the problem?

I am not even going to argue with you.

Ok, perek if you want to discuss this any furthur please make it in a PM directed to the person you are conversing/arguing with if you do choose to continue or if another arguement comes up. Last thing we need here is whining from ANYONE!

I see folks buying fish that will outgrow their tanks all the time. I will ask the person (as the employee is off bagging their fish) how big their tank is. I will then tell them how large the fish gets. Most of the time they have returned the fish (w/some grumbling from the employee). Since I'm not at every shop in the world, 7 days/week, lots of those fish are going into too small tanks & the shops will continue to restock...

Yeah, sadly I'm one of those LFS that sell those fish. Though now we do warn customers about their sizes.
