I'm looking to get a job at petsmart or petco soon you guys, and I will certainly be the only well educated fish seller there.
And I'm nineteen lol.
I'm not going to lie to people just to get extra money, or just be ignorant.
Good deal! I'm a firm believer that age doesn't matter when it comes to fishkeeping. I also found that I've learned a lot from the youngsters on this site. No disrespect to my fellow older fishkeepers btw... you're very knowledgeable as well. It just seems like our younger generation is more informed of the more up-to-date methods.
Heck, when I was 16 and got my first tank, I never checked the water parameters, inserted new filter media when the others got too "yucky", rarely did a pwc, (maybe once a month), never treated w/ meds when my fish got sick, etc. etc. But now that I'm back in the hobby, (16 years later), I'm learning from 16 year olds. I think it's great! I wish I knew all this stuff when I was that young!
