i agree with what your saying but theres adviseing and theres being downright rude when i first setup i was acused of cruelty as i had a red tale shark in 41 litre i was given no information at the LFS i regards to overall size within a week ov knowing i had a new tank at 166 litre bare in mind the shark is still only 1 1/2 inch

Ik how you feel I posted about a 1 gallon tank and ask if a tetra would be okay in it ooohhhhh boy I never herd the end of it. Im new at all this I didn't know. But now I do. Lol. So when I give advice I make sure to not be rude bc there was a time I didn't know anything.

Well with him being a newbie, he can only go by what the LFS told him. Alot of people do rely on them because their suppose to know what they are doing. Everyone of use has made this type of mistake. So b4 u judge him remember you were here at one time.

Agree!

Well yet could have been like you dumb person research before you by. Just like any pet. You need to research. I think the responses are not rude considering there is a lot that could have been said. They are just saying facts and things that NEED to be done.

Now that's rude!

You'd be amazed at how often I'm called "dude"..... not like my user name gives away my gender or anything.....

You know how some people think they know everything and have never made a mistake.

Thanks for the advice guys. As some have you said, I'm a casual newbie, so I didn't know what I was doing. Buut I have taken the steps nessicary (from your guys' advice) to make a new and proper home for my fish.

I'm so glad you're sticking with it it is a little frustrating at first, but keeping fish is so much fun, especially livebearers, as you've already found out!

I'm glad. I'm a newbie too! They all were once too! Making mistakes is all apart of learning. Best of luck to you and your fish!
