ok well in the wild some animals are eaten. But I am out of this discussion. I am afraid I am the odd man out and am making people mad which was not my intentions. Everything I say is going to be taken out of context. Best of luck to yall.
Only live food I'll ever used is mosquito larvae.

Ya their rainbow fish are about 12$ a pop and the new glow fish are 7$ each. But knowing they don't have a disease is priceless. I don't even use a qt with them. Obviously when I get into SW I will have to though.

The worst part about it is that people assume that someone is an 'expert' just because they work in the store. How come we don't hold that standard to other low paid employees that work in other types of stores?I agree 100000% with DragonFish71, do your research and make an educated buy.
Reminds me of the quote "Facts are many, but the Truth is one". No matter how much of an expert your talking to, he's human too, and even tho the expert may be trying to give you pure fact, it may not always be true. Everyones capable of error and the experts are no exception.
I have run into some idiots tho and I'd be lying if I said I never ran into an LFS worker with less than accurate "advise"...

I hear that! I spent $90 on 8 Kryptopterus Minors. Loosing any due to unsuccessful aclimation is really frustrating after spending that kinda money. And I still feel it was ridiculous to spend $6 each on a glowlight adding up to a school of 12. Good grief! And now I'm going for a school of 8 Puntius Denisonii at $30 each plus shipping. Crazy crazy crazy. Too bad there isn't a break if someone is getting a school larger than 6. That's be nice.
Some people will work with you on that, I know that the supply lists I look at have volume discounts so they really should pass that on to the customer, I know I would anyway.
