I was just at a Pet Valu here in Pickering picking up some kitten food. They had a 10 gallon on the cashier's counter with 2 black skirt tetras, 1 zebra danio, and an ADF. I didn't say anything.

Do you guys comment when you see fish not being kept in the correct numbers together, etc?

I once saw a very, very large angel alone in a 10 gal. I commented on that. Usually I keep my mouth shut... (not on the internet, as you probably have noticed, but in person I do)

Why am I seeing ads when I'm a premium member ?

And yeah, sometimes I open my mouth at some of the egregious things I see, but mostly it does not help, so mostly I try not to.

Depends where I see it, if it's at someone's house, yeah.
If it's at a pet store, then I tell them they should know better and then I re-evaluate if I should buy anything from them since I now question their credibility.
If it's at a place of business (restaurant, bank etc) I don't bother, odds are the employees don't care.

What about the concern of backlash? How do you deal with it?

I say something by asking questions, such as

If it's a population issue I usually say "Wow, that's a lot of fish, what's your filtration at?"

If it's a compatibility issue I ask "Do they all get along?"

Kind of hint towards "Do your homework dummy"

I once saw an acquaintance's tank that had Malawi cichlids and 3 or 4 comet goldfish, I had to suppress the urge to strangle him

It's PetValu. I work at one and the training for fish is less than abysmal.

Exactly.
Better things to do with my time than debate about fish in another persons tank lol, especially if they don't seem to know or care.
