Re: Topic of the Month 02/07 - Sorting Good from Bad Advisers

Ive been to some stores that have "not reef safe" next to the price tag which is good & have also seen a paragraph description w/picture of each fish/coral that was laminated & placed next to each tank.

My LFS has a pretty large turn over, he hires students being a college town but most are Biology majors. I have to give them credit I hear more stories where people are mad because they make them bring multiple water samples in & want a perfect 1 before selling them a fish. I had to wait 3 weeks before they would sell me a Wrasse that I special ordered because it wasnt eating good. The unexperienced employees are encouraged not to answer questions if they are not 100% sure of the answer.

I think the best thing you can do is ask questions then go home & research it in books or on the net to confirm.
