I got the idea for starting this thread after reading some posts on other forums. In particular I got to thinking about it after this anecdote, and I paraphrase: The pet store employee said I should flush the fish and get a new one. I looked at her and said, "If your cat had a hairball, would you flush it?" So here's a dedicated thread to all the wisdom, the humor, and the plain ol' of HB. I'll start it off with that story The Imploding Voice wrote. "The sales guy, working on commission I guess, was pushing for the kid toget the individual Betta Tech bowls, saying that if you keep both bettas in the same tank, even if there is a barrier, will cause the water to go cloudy because constant flaring will cause the fish to release some sort of hormone that will cloud the water." *snickers at the dumb sales guy*

Yeah something similar happened to me. I have a opaline gourami and he is extremly aggresive and now he is in a 1g tank and the guy at the petshop said "to chose which fish I wanted he said if you want the tetras keep them and if you want the gourmai keep him otherwise you will have to get rid of one of the fish" Which I thought wasn't very nice so I asked to talk to the manger of the fish department in that store and she said " if you bring the gourami back to the store we will gladley take him and sell him to someone else" Which is what I'm going to do either friday or next week.
