Hello aquarists

[kamalei.86]

I've been in the hobby for 7 years keeping mainly goldfish and just recently getting into planted tanks, nothing high tech yet. Surprisingly there's always something new to learn! I just started work as an aquatics specialist at our local pet store (not naming names I'll leave that up to you guys [emoji4]) which is challenging to say the least. I would appreciate any advice for those aquarists who have worked at a LFS. And I'm sure for those that have, you can relate to treating every known fish disease out there. Here's a few photos of my tanks

One nice thing I know places with aquatic specialists, they are often allowed to add into to tanks like these fish (Comet) get over 12 inches long or these fish (Clown Loaches) can be 18", these fish like to be in groups of 6 or more, etc. Outlines of what size the fish really get next to the tiny 2" fish.

I am sure your new job will be a challenge for good and bad though, you have the opportunity to help people do things in a better way.

So learn all that you can so you can share pertinent information with your customers.

Especially if it is a store with SW you have even more to learn about !

I love GF! Nice pics.
