Moose eating fish 3g3e32

Having lived in Sweden for about a year, I was keen to practise my language skills. So when I went into a tropical fish shop to get a fish to eat all the 'algae' in my tank, I thought I give it a go. But I should have prepared a little more carefully. I asked for an älg ätare not an alg ätare. The guy in the shop was very nice, seeing as I'd tried to ask for an 'algae eater' but actually asked for a 'moose eater'. I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd brought out a shark!
