I have to agree Bog, but I also never trust a fishstore employee just wanting to make a sale. If I ask a question. and the person helping me doesn't know the answer. instead of blowing smoke up my rear end. admitting ignorance and asking another employee for the answer, or heading over to the books and saying "lets both find out" and offering suggestions and drawing from their own experiances as a fishkeeper. I dump over 100$ a month at my regular private shop instead of at the petco or petsmart tbh. because of the honesty I get more then anything else.
I don't know everything, and I don't expect anyone else to know everything.
but there are some times you just wanna shake your head.. and either laugh or cry.
