There isn't really anything modern about it… part of the problem is that some LFS employees don't know much about fish keeping, some don't care, some are not allowed to not promote products, some get paid commission on sales, some have given up because people don't listen (I am lucky that most of my experience working in LFS was not actually dealing with customers on the shop floor, or I am sure I would have long since given up on humanity)…But it is wrong you know, the retailers should be more open about any problems or things that happen at first, I mean it is not a cheap hobby to get set up in is it, you cant "cut corners" in this hobby unless you want further problems can you.
Still I suppose it is modern day selling techniques.
Just to be sure, your tank is an AquaStart 500 by AquaOne? So the dimensions are 50 cm long * 34 cm deep (front to back) * about 40 cm tall?So my next question folks is, as a new starter to the hobby, when I eventually put two or three fish in the tank, any suggestions what sort I should start with please ?
My daughters partner, reckons that I should get a couple of Guppies, what do you think ?
I am not intending to put a lot of fish in, I only want about 4 or 5 maximum and that will be it.
Because if I can get this new set up working right, despite my earlier "winjing" about the initial set up procedure, see how it goes and then in the back of my mind I am thinking of getting a bigger tank in another room.But that will not happen for a couple of months, get this one sorted first.
So what about those Guppies....any good ?
Top right, there is a button which says "Watch topic" or something like that, that will do it (you need to select the option which will send you an email). You can set this to happen automatically somewhere in the user preferences so that if you reply, you are automatically subscribed to the topic.One question folks,whilst I am here,is there a facility on this forum where members can be notified by e mail to any replies to posts please ? I am a member of a couple more sites, (not fish related) and if there are replies to threads of which I have posted on, I get an e mail telling me so.
