My thought process is - if the fish caught your attention then what is the big deal.  I am not a fish snob where I will only buy something because of it's name.  If I like the fish then we are good...  anyway,  the more fish you have the better the reason you've got to expand and get more tanks...

Those who die with the most toys WINS !


Thats the problem... the FISH didnt catch my eye... the NAME did. 

We were assured that they were what they were labeled and that they were new to the tank and hadnt gotten color yet.  I took their word for it.  At least ur fish store trys to label them. Our new pet store had three different tank with cichlids. One marked "mixed african cichlids" one marked medium cichlids and a third marked "premium cichlids". Just freakin sad still. I'd rather buy at walmart...

I'm not a fish snob either.  But,I do expect a fish to be what it is labeled.
No longer fishroom, I have a FISH BASEMENT!!!

I go to Walmart when I'm bored and just people watch !   What a trip !  Especially down south in Tennessee or Kentucky...

They should make it a law that not everyone should wear spandex...
