Between all of us, we have probably visited 100s of petshops, perhaps
1000s of times, and overheard comments which made our ears go red. Does
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".

"All Clown Loaches sold now are farm bred with the use of hormones" - I
always thought they were wild caught and didn't breed in captivity....would
be interesting if anyone knows better....

The first report of clown loach breeding in captivity was in Practical
Fishkeeping, Feb. 1996. I remember it coming out because everyone where
I worked who was interested in FW handed the magazine around. A summary
is here. http://www.loaches.com/loachbreeding.html I have no idea
whether they're being commercially bred.
