I have a goldfish and a fishtank, can I just add the fish to the tank right away? Will it die?
There are fish stores that do the same, so don't anyone just assume that they can be trusted either just because they are privately owned. Ask questions then check their answers - that's how you find out who knows what they are talking about and who doesn't.It is sad that these big box stores (petco, petland, etc) will tell you anything that you want to hear just to make that sale. This is why i like the smaller LFS, at least the ones in my city. They will tell you what is good for the fish, not good for you.
Stay clear of this big box store and support your LFS instead. The prices may be slightly higher, but the quality of information is 1000x better than the minimum wage guy.
You are completely right jaysee. I guess I am a bit spoiled where I live. Only a city of 200k people and 3 LFS shops. Lukily all 3 are straightshooters. We also have 2 big box stores (PetLand and PetSmart) which I got bad advise.There are fish stores that do the same, so don't anyone just assume that they can be trusted either just because they are privately owned.
