Quit my job at the LPS -Incredible Pets

Yes integrity is one of my more valued traits, i dont think that boss was wrong about the neons, but from the other things you said, you did the right thing.

Well, I know that some angels could get along with the neons but I have heard stories of angels eating them so I just wanted to tell him that they may eat them, just to give him a kind of heads up you know? But the manager told him the angels would never eat the neons. :rolleyes: Anyways, I am glad I quit. I don't need the money THAT bad to watch fish suffer and not be able to do anything about it. :-(
 
I go there Friday to pick up my last paycheck and I am going to check on the fish. If I see any with noticable injuries/sickness I am going to report them. :nod:

Dammit! I wish I had a bloody job, forget quitting it because of a wrong doing. Why not be the change, and start actively voicing your opinion over there?

DB :fish:
I tried that. I get yelled at and punished to do maintenance. :angry:
 
ive said it 1000 time that working in a LFS isnt about good advise and so on, its about making money thats why its not good for us fish geeks to work there, i for one if i owned a fish shop i would sell anything to anyone as well to make money, it is a rat race out there.
 
I would make the obvious points, to my customers, but I have to agree. I can't live of 10 fish a week, I need 10, 000 (The Big Als in Stoney Creek sells 500 Angelfish a week alone).

hospital tanks? my lfs dont even have one. i guess its because its going to take up space, and they want to fill up every tank they have space for, they also sleep in their shop.

sorry but don't mark all the shops with the same comment.

I work in a LFS and my bosses diffinately care about the fish.
 
I have neons in with my angels and they have worked out fine... But i did add them together when the angels were only little so they have grown up together!
 
Paul thats good, i would look after the fish as well, but i mean i wouldnt look after them like they are my own, i would keep them as healthy as i can for a fast sale.
 
I agree that if I owned any kind of store I would probably try to sell as much as I could because hey, I need to eat too right? But if I saw a large african cichlid with white scales poking out of his body, I would definately treat him with medication. Even if I was only worried about the money, I mean those guys sell for about 25$!

It just sucks that fish are sometimes not seen as live creatures. Like if there was a puppy in that store with white stuff poking out of it's skin and the owner didn't do anything about it, he would most likely get reported. :nod:

I thought working there would be a nice first job, as I am only 16. But boy, was I wrong. :no:
