Today I went down to a LFS to purchase a discus. I'm trying to find some
Smaller Juveniles and unfortunately they are far and few between around my area. So I walk in the store (me and my girlfriend do look rather young) anyway we ask the guy if he has any discus in stock. He says "yeah, I only have one" and turns the light on. It's a beautiful yellow
Discus and it's the perfect size and looks very healthy (I know getting discus from a LFS is not always a great idea but I observe them and make sure they look pretty good before purchasing). Anyway the fish was awesome and only 29.00$! Then this guy starts grilling me on my knowledge of discus, and I literally mean asking me every aspect on discus keeping and telling me I'm "not prepared". This is coming from a guy who tells me that discus like old water and you should only change their water once a month! What a joke! This man saw we were young and assumed I had no idea what I was doing. After he was done with his rant, he simply said "have a good day" and turned off the light in the tank. I couldnt believe it!!
