These forums are designed for everyone to learn! Even the most experienced fishkeepers here learn things every day.
One bit of advice ... don't follow advice from the LFS (local fish store) staff! Their job is to sell you things, whether you need them or not. They honestly aren't concerned about the welfare of your fish. WE ARE! The best advice we can give is to do your research before buying any fish or supplies. That way you can go into any LFS armed with knowledge! There's another thread going on here about which LFSs to avoid, which are bad, etc. It doesn't matter. They all give bad advice and all have just one thing in mind: sell, sell, sell.
Glad you joined us!!
