Hi!

[NewToFishAndPlants]

Hello,

I’m a newbie around here looking to learn as I enter into the world of fish care (and planted tanks)!

I don’t know what I don’t know but I’m trying to learn fast and have quickly realised that there are some dubious ‘experts’ out there (think big name chain store) who aren’t as clued up as you think

I’m going to make mistakes, but hopefully I can educate myself as much as I can to minimise those

The Dunning-Kruger effect is real, also in our hobby.

Good luck.

Hi! Welcome to fishlore!, I learned a lot here and continue to learn here, I hope you enjoy doing the same.
Dubiouse "Fish experts come in all forms and sneak into everything everywere. There were some especially one great employee at the petco were I started out, and then my best freind with fish and semi exotic pets worked at petsmart. But some Grotus Molotus employees employees worked at the local owned stores.

At least now you can get several opinions and compare.

Welcome to fishlore! I’ve had very few experiences with petco employees actually knowing anything at all. And, last time I went to my lfs the lady I had spent a super long time trying to catch the fish I wanted, and then proceeded to try to tell me that gold tetras were actually neon tetras… not the most fish expert of a person…
