So, I went to the petstore today to look for pellets to feed my axo, and when I couldn't find any carnivore/massivore pellets at all, I went to ask one of the employees for help. I explained to him that I had an axolotl, and upon seeing his somewhat confused expression I said it was basically a fully aquatic amphibian. He then began trying to convince me I could get this food and just put it on land, because the axo would have to come onto land eventually. After all amphibians need to be on land 50% of the time. I ended up arguing with him for a few minutes and not really getting anywhere besides him essentially implying I was abusing my pet.
I understand that not that many people have heard of Axolotls or know that much about them, but is it so hard for him to admit that he hadn't heard of them and wasn't quite sure what they had that he would like? Also, is it so hard to believe that there is an amphibian that lives its whole life underwater?
Anyway, thats my rant for today. I probably shouldn't have expected much better from that store since all their bettas looked like they were sick or had been biting their tails, and every fish i've ever gotten from them have died within a day or two, but still.
