I went to a Petco yesterday to get my credit for the two fish I had that died within the 30 day guarantee. The fish were kept in separate tanks.
I posted a while back a question as to why my glolight tetra was so fat. Internal parasite seemed to fit.
When I told the "aquatic specialist" my suspicion he said no, it was just pregnant.
So, as an egg layer, do they become pregnant? I was under the impression they don't. I get he is a petco employee, but naturally this was a red flag for me. I've learned a lot on this site along with my own research, so I asked a bunch of other questions that I pretty much know the answers to.
He seemed to have matching understanding with me about 60% of the time. I admit I am no expert.
He also said I should mix gravel with sand because sand requires much more upkeep.
I thought sand was easier to clean. No? I don't think anyone on this site recommended mixing sand and gravel.
Do I have a basis to be pseudo-ranting?
