Great to hear, d9hp! And you're right about lawn care and people care being different jobs. I hear you when you say cutting grass lets you get rid of stress. It's a time you can just think and be on your own. Try not to get frustrated with the newbies that come into the local fish store wanting to get a tank and some fish all on the same day and call you a moron and say they know what they are doing... Customer is always right...

I'm really surprised LFSs sell a tank and fish to the same person on the same day. Especially when they guarantee the fish. They know that the conditions are right for the fish to die.... Doesn't make sense to me.

well, most of the time the fish will live at least one week, after that the qaruntee is over.

most of the lfs here offer a 14 day or better guarantee. Of course the fish I get last one day longer than the guarantee....

That's with the dead fish and a sample of water which they test.

Yea, for this LFS to even sell a SW fish you have to have a sample of your water. They are pretty leanient but its still a good precaution.

P.S. My neighbor has the car I want, I think I might be able to get it off of him in a year! YEEE WHOOOO
