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

All kinds of craptacular advice. This was my favorite:
... it is essential to let the water filter run for a couple of days before adding any fish
I'd love to ask the Petco "experts" what exactly that accomplishes.

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".

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.

I clicked to view the comments, and above that there was a box for me to add a comment. I was able to add one. And by the way...who told petco that GSP only get to be the size of a golfball?

i have a feeling that was meant to say "at full size, they will easily eat meals the size of a golfball"

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.
