Seriously,
Just got back from a trip to the venerable and experience older woman who has a large LFS in her basement. She has been in the hobby since the 60s.
I have purchased most of my livestock from her. She is very into the hobby and cares greatly about the care of her fish.
I am perplexed by what she just told me. I have always wanted to put a nice big school of cardinals or neons in my 75 and still trying to decide what tankmates to put in with them.
"your tank is too big for tetras like neons and cardinals. there is too much pressure from such a tall tank, they get tired from having to swim all the time. they do much better in a smaller tank"
Really? Are these fish not from the AMAZON FREAKIN RIVER????
I really want to give her the bussiness, but I don't think I am being unreasonable wanting to put tetras in a 75 gallon tank.
Please advise.
