Biggest mistakes?

[J. H.]

Some years ago let one of my relatives take care of my fish. Big mistake. Oh well he tried though. Tanks covered in fish food and feeder fish. No casualties though. Just some puzzled looking fish when I arrived home.

You should stay so lucky.

I always prepack food for these situations

I'm sorry to hear that. Stocking fish can be difficult. I hope everything turned out alright

My biggest mistake was trusting the guy at the LFS when he said it would be fine to keep a pair of salvini with some electric blue acaras when I set up,my first cichlid tank.
