SeaHorse_Fanatic will become famous soon enough

Same thing happened when I was starting out in fw. LFS sold me about 40-50 fish for a brand new 5g I was bringing home.

In my defence, I was 8 years old & the internet hadn't been invented yet.

Lessons learned: Do your own research & don't depend on just what is told to you by someone who may profit from their own advice. If you go into the LFS armed with some knowledge of the species you're looking at, then you can better judge what their advice is worth. I have found some to be very honest, even if it means a lost sale. Others not so much. But this applies to every industry.

Post Re Yellow

The store always want to make money, what store, where they well educated, if so they obviously didnt care about the fish.

Invest in some good books, better then relying on a "what someone said"
