I'm not sure if they do get commission over here in the UK, I would have to ask someone who's been here a bit longer than me...but I wouldnt be surprised if that were the case. Almost anyone will do anything for a buck. :( And these poor animals suffer for it.

I'm just so surprised, with all the animal protection movements out there, that fish shops can get away with this blatant neglect and willfull ignorance of the proper care of these animals. How they can give such poor advice and not even care where these animals go or how they're treated is beyond ...

Thank you MatsP! I have found the one in cardiff to be extremely helpful, and much better than my LFS's. I found no dead fish, no overpopulation, clean tanks, very healthy looking and vibrantly-coloured fish (not dyed mind you). This is a huge change to what I'd seen when I lived in the US (walmart ...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I feel like such a dope for buying a fish we'd be completely incapable of growing and taking care of for his/her lifespan. :oops: At least there's a lesson learned here, to read up on fish before I buy them, not after. I think the advice I'm getting is sound, it ...

So I suppose my real questions are now, where do I go from here? If I return it to where I purchased him, I'm afraid they'll sell him to somebody who's equally ignorant and not be able to take care of him properly. I know of nobody that can really take him on. I really would prefer him to go ...

Please help me verify the identity of this brown plec

Ok so I know that this particular one has been asked about time and again, and I've compared the photos, I just want to be absolutely sure this is a form of Liposarcus Pardalis - L023. First, now if this is the case, according to your cat-eLog it says that it'll get to about 25cm. I've seen such a ...
