Had a couple come into the store looking at the fish.
And after a while they ended up asking the typical fish question of "How long does "X" live?"
Usually we get it with the betta fish.
But today the question was "How long do your Neon Tetras live?"
Like....if you give them a good life? "Ten years." is potentially how long the egg laying fish can live.
And the customer was like "Oh, he *points to companion* thought that they would only live ten minutes!"
Which.. Ha. Ha. Funny.
But at the same time. Can you imagine that? Imagine there being a fish that only lives ten minutes?
I'm pretty sure our store would never carry it if that was the case. Like...we'd have to have a constant influx of thousands if not millions of the fish in order to keep them in stock.
And us poor workers would be having to fish out dead constantly.
No. It would definitely not be cost effective or worth the hassle to carry a fish that lived so short of a time.
Like...who would even want to buy such a fish??? It could possibly be dead before you left the store, real high chance it wouldn't even make it home if you were able to get in and out real quick....
Like yikes. :S
Still it's an interesting thought exercise to have.
