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".

This one isn't a lie but I thought it might fit in under this topic. Bought
the first tank (15gall) just over a year ago from "Pets at Home". We were
advised to "buy as a big a tank as you have room for as this hobby is
addictive. If you don't you will be back buying more tanks very soon" -
hmm - 2 weeks later we bought the first 200L - now have 6 plus the little QT
tank..... :-)
