They do. The standard suggestion for any fish selling employee is "let the fish tank run for 48 hours before adding fish". They were taught to say so by the store. It is the worse possible advice, and most fish die from that. I have also heard that it is against store policy for the employees to give different advices than what the store told them so. The store isn't going to wait for a month or more before you buy the actual animals, they want you to get them as soon as possible so they can have your money in their pocket. Profit always come before the well being of the animals.
