Was at the local LFS picking up supplies for the dogs, and a couple of 21 high tanks for use as breeders. The girl behind the counter asked what kind of fish I was going to put in the tanks so I explained to her they were for Breeding Discus. "Oh, I love Discus" she says, " I was thinking about getting some for my tank but I heard they like very alkaline water" :p I told her, no, they actually like acidic water and they are a lot of work - she's no longer thinking about getting Discus :p

Ah, but they're a labor of love Jim. Though admittedly it is a love hate relationship sometimes.

Similar story, I was watching some wilds at local fish store not too long ago, a young couple went by behind me and heard the young man say to the lady with him "Don't even look at them, they are saltwater fish"

Jim, you should have asked her to join the forum to be more well informed so she can help customers better :)

She was rather young and dingy - probably having a tough time helping herself :p lol
