research, research

[cocoa_pleco]

even though theyre long sold, i get about 5 replies a day still about my peacock ad. some people ask perfectly fine questions like "are they peaceful?", and "are they suitable for a 30g?", but just look at this one

"I don't know your fishes are for fresh water or salt water?"

lol, do some research!

Some people do not want to do research. They want every single question answered for them without doing any of their own work.

I hate "stupid questions"...the only time I don't mind them is when you find conflicting information....but easy questions such as that is just plain laziness. Ugh....some people......

How about stupid question like......"which way does the arrow on the check-valve go"?

Lol

i wouldnt sell them to someone asking that you know they would be long gone in a few days/weeks

[cocoa_pleco]

man, i cant believe a dumb question like that. i would understand if they didnt know peacocks are cichlids but saltwater?

the peacocks went to someone with a 90g peacock tank a few weeks ago

[Futureboy]

ahh well at least they went to a good home :thumb:

That's really sad. I'm sure, in the same amount of time it took him to type that email, he could've typed that same question into Google, hit enter, and have got the answer. :rolleyes:

Can you delete/edit the ad so people stop emailing you?

i can, but i always forget. lol.

i hate it when people ask such OBVIOUS questions. it literally takes 5 seconds to go "[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]", and type in "info on peacock cichlids", find a website, and quickly read about them

[ruecole]

Um, yeah. I guess typing his question ver batim wouldn't exactly get him the answer. :sheepish look: For some reason I thought his question was, "Are peacock cichlids fresh water or salt water?" (Which would undoubtedly produce the answer he was looking for... :hmm3grin2orange: )

Okay, it's definitely my bedtime. I just edited this post five times and I'm still not sure if it makes sense... :rolleyes:

Lmao! That was me about 2 weeks ago! I had to have one to go on the air tube for my whisper 3i filter, b/c I wanted to put the pump under my dresser...well I ended up having to take it off for some reason 2 weeks ago and then when i went to put it back on I was like "Ohhh crap.....which way did that arrow go!?" lmao....figured it out, but felt like a moron! :11: :hmm3grin2orange:

[cocoa_pleco]

i think i had the worst question when i started with fish. 5 years ago i got my first tank bigger than a bowl (5.5g), and it was used and had a aquaclear mini. i didnt know what the heck a aquaclear was so i thought you fully submerse it, and jam the air pump in the media slot. lol, was i wrong
