That is too bad, I'm sorry you had a bad experience.
I hope you are able to find a suitable small blue fish!

Thought damsel for a little while there, but one thing kept going through my head
 Thought maybe I would roll the dice with a cherub angel.

You should look for a small lyeirtale goby I got a really cool blue one. He is about 2 inches full grown, and is out and active all the time.

Doug I think most places in town know you and understand your level of commitment to knowledge in this reef hobby. I am surprised a salesperson felt you wouldn't be offended over inappropriate advice.
This last week I went to a couple LFS's and thought to myself it would be nice if you went into a LFS and they had a computer and internet , or a fish data base you could use. I go in and see a fish and wonder if it would be compatible in my setup and have no way of immediately knowing except from a salesperson that wants you to buy that fish. Now do I want to go home, look it up, drive back and buy it???. Well just me rambling on. Kevin

That's a great idea, Kevin. Or at least a few good reference books, eh?

Kevin...I think that is one of the best ideas I've heard...I don't know how many times I have been to a reef shop in Vancouver (I live on Vancouver Island) LOVE a fish but can't get good info on it...until I find an internet cafe, or have one in the hotel I am staying at...then go back to get it the next day and ... it's gone...I'd love to see an internet terminal in an LFS...that would be sooo very cool! Even if I had to put in a buck or something to help with the cost...it would be cool with me! My husband would be sooo much happier hearing he doesn't need to buy me a nice Mac laptop!
 Although, I could use it!sorry that was a bit off topic......

Question for those in Calgary who know the stores...
I lived their 5 years or so ago, (and only got more brave and started with a 65 gal salt when I moved here) I know where some of the fish stores are, but can anyone sugest trustworthy LFS's that I can check out on my way through on the 26th and Sept 3rd? Much appreciated

Golds, Elite Aquatics and Wais Aquarium. IMO the three best stores in town.
