We rent a Suite in a State Farm (franchise) building. The owner of the SF came by today to see if my boss had a check for rent (boss is at court).
He started talking to me about HIS fish tank (140g) and telling me about issues that he has had...loss of fish, algae...stuff like that. Then he asked me about mine...I have lots of fish and NO algae.
The guy/company that he uses only changes the water 1x a month and does a 100% (well more like 98% due to the gravel
). They have no live plants and it is a gravel bed. SF looses fish all the time and have to buy replacements (well they have the usual warranty). SF told me that the guy is bringing fish today (they have just recently gotten over ICH (ok..the guy does not use salt in his breeding aquariums...). The guy mixes 1in fish with 6in fish (can you guess what happens there?!!!). SF wants me to come over Monday to see what kind of fish the guy has put in the tank.
I had to bite my tongue several times!!! I would say something then have to "crawfish" (pun intended ) and say...Im really not trying to badmouth the guy...he MUST know what he is doing because he has a business (tongue in cheek 
).
I told SF to get a list of fish available and I'd help him pick out fish that can/will go together...he has a 6in fish right now (not sure what type...have not been in there in a while) and I told him to trade it out because he said it is pretty aggressive.
I'll let ya know how it goes
