I just walked out of Petco empty handed. Gonna buy some Pom Pom Grac this evening though.
I walked out of mine last week....
I was trying to buy feeders for Eelektra, and all they had were minnows or goldfish as "feeders".
Ok, I know she won't eat them, so I ask the guy very nicely if I could get 2 of the smallest swordtails that they can and like 3 little tetra thingeries - they're all freshwater, so they're all the same and ugly to me.
He looks at me a little funny and I said, oh, it's just bc I eel won't eat the other ones.
Well... that was it. The guy turns and says very sternly, "those are NOT feeders. The feeders are these fish here."
Me "oh, ok cool, but my eel won't eat those, I need to buy the other fish please."
NOPE! He refused to sell me $8 of fish.
I even tried to be like, ok, well you want my beautiful $150 eel to die of starvation?
Again, he said no, buy the feeders.
I was SO hot... I walked out. What made it worse for me, though, was that all the ugly stupid FW tanks were all pretty and clean, but all the SW tanks looked horrible, covered in algae and half dead fish.

Sorry... rant over. Welcome back to you're regular programming.

Some people's children, I tell ya. Your think by now people would be away from goldfish as feeders too. They're not that healthy. @Goaway you still breed mollies for yours?
