Between all of us, we have probably visited 100s of petshops, perhaps

anyone have any favourites?

I remember overhearing :
"Goldfish can live in a bowl because they are air breathers",

- and of course the perennial classic:
"Oscars are fine in a community tank".

"Bettas are more comfortable in small bowls."

Pointing to healthy, green Radican swordplant (Echinodorus spp.) "This
is really a houseplant." Points to pale, sad-looking Spathophylum spp.
"This is a true swordplant and will grow well submerged."

And don't forget "Neons and angels make great tankmates."
(True...sometimes).
