More Stupidity at my one LFS (Please Rescue these catfish)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
In the Danish aquarium forums, few people even know what cycling a tank is.. And those who do, always say that it isnt nessecery.. Its.. terrible. I'm Lucky to have a good lfs, in my area. Yeh, they make mistakes, but im yet to see Red Tail catfish, or Tiger shovelnoses there. They however always cut the sizes a Little of there larger predators. Like they list The Reticulatus stingrays and not growing larger than 35cm, and that kinda stuff. Maybe their just as bad, i never really ask them about anything. Theyr right now selling Tile Morays, but they Arent labeling them as freshwater morays, wich made me happy. Theres acually now info about them other than there name, but i have a feeling that if i ask, if they can go in full freshwater for life, im gonna get a yes.

She is pretty nice so hopefully she will accept help and realize that a fish's life is just as valuable as a cat or dog's. Not to get into the Walmart thread again (starting to regret I made it).

Yeh, shes a science teacher, so she must accept facts.

my good LFS always gives a whole little tag about tank size, temp, pH, etc. but the one the tiger shovelnose was at doesn't. One time they had a Midas labeled as "big cichlid" and for care it said "needs large tank". It was full grown in a 34 gallon and couldn't even turn.
 
If I were you I'd rethink if I want to support that store by buying food and filter pads there...

I agree. you could buy larger quantities of food and pads when you get the chance to go to good lfs or You could try to buy all that online. Might even be cheaper.
