I was honestly told by a LFS that it was ok to keep a Hippo Tang in a 29G tank because the fish will only grow as big as the tank will allow.
Fortunately, I knew to research before doing anything I was not familiar with. Now I know how much BS that is and that they just wanted to sell me a $50 fish.
Trust what you read, And not just in one place but research it in several places. That way you are sure.
Fish stores do not make a lot of money! This means they can't pay high salaries to professionals to work there. So what you get is a guy or gal off the street that's willing to work for low pay just to get by or help with school or as a part time thing.
Every once in a while you find an employee that is very knowledgeable and works this low paying position because they are retired, or disabled, or just needs a supplemental income.
Here in our area we are blessed with 6-7 fine stores that have good help 90% of the time. then we have 2 that I could name right off that would sell you a kitten and a fish tank to keep it in then tell you it's a CatFish!
