I think their fish selection is fine for the first year at most then as thefish grow it allows them to sell more items to the client...

Okay...so on Friday I came down in my hotel at MACNA and there was Brett in the Starbucks...I went over introduced myself and we had a good chat about the show. I asked him some of the stuff about what forums are saying and he told me that they are pressing the producers to put some written disclaimers in describing how much effort they go through to pre-setup the tank...but the producers don't feel it makes good TV. I also had lunch with the guys from the fish importer on episode one and they said that they are very involved making sure that each tank is really just a "tank move" not a new setup. They have existing tanks full of life ready for the show and they move them into the "new" tanks that the guys put together for customers. Every precaution is taken.

Does this absolve them from any responsibility if newbies do what they do and kill their livestock..."NO" but it makes me feel a little better.

Well, it's not so much what they do that disturb me, it is more what they teach.

I am pretty sure some people are going to do it all wrong because of them.

Totally agree. I now have an issue from watching too much Hell's Kitchen, every time my wife cooks me dinner I swear and yell ridiculously at her while I slam the food on the counter. Someone really should make sure all reality TV shows are 100% accurate to every persons personal beliefs, we obviously can't be held responsible for our own decisions and actions.
