as info for an average aquarium patron...i see no problems with their statements.

for those of us with experience, we could easily pick apart some of their points.

but for those who have never kept fish, and think of it as a novelty, i think the statement is good way to weed those exact people out.

sure, it may steer some people out of the hobby, but the aquarium isnt in the business of selling fish and fish husbandry products. so they dont have anything to lose by making those statements.

if they had a vested interest in the promotion of fish keeping, then a statement like that would steer people (potential customers) away from trying to maintain an aquarium, then there would be a problem.

but from their stand point, i think they did a good job.

but again, that is only my humble opinion.
