Tomato Tomahto

Had a customer come into the store today to get fish for his tank.
As our competitor down the valley....didn't have the fish that he wanted.
So after looking about for a bit, he found me and listed off the handful of fish that he wanted.

Among those fish?
He said "Leeches." 

O.o
….I don't carry leeches.

And told him so.

But he was insistent that we did in fact have them as they were in the tank 'over there.'

The leeches in question he described as being about 4 inches long and brown and wormy--

Which is when it clicked.

He wasn't looking for Leeches.
He was looking for Loaches.

Specifically our Kuhli Loaches. 

*shakes head*

He was like "Tomato Tomahto" about the mixup….

But like. Leeches are pretty different from our Loaches. 

At least I was able to figure out the mixup though I'm still not quite sure how he got "Leech" from the word "Loach" on the sign.
