Pet Fish Questions to Ask

"OK, so now that we're at our local fish dealer, and we have looked around a little bit on our own and made sure the tanks were clean and respectable. We've taken a look at some of the fish there and we have an idea of some of the ones that we find attractive or interested in. The next thing you need to do is grab a hold of an employee, preferably somebody who they would necessarily call "The Fish Guy", if it's not a fish specialty store, and you're going to want to ask as many questions as you possibly can about as many fish you possibly can. It's not a bad idea to take a little notepad with you and a pen so you can write things down as it can get complicated and confusing at times. But preferably, they should be able to tell you as much as you want to know about these fish, anywhere from adult sizes, which is something you should be asking, "How big does this fish get?" To things such as "Will this fish get along with that fish?" Also, when you're looking at your fish here -- today we're just looking, we're not buying yet. We still have a little bit to go before we're going to buy anything. We're just getting an idea of what our local fish stores carry. Because it's going to be hard to get something if your local fish stores don't carry it already. So, what we're really doing is getting an idea of what they carry in stock so then we can find the right fish out of those stock items for you. So get all your notes, get all your fish names and your questions answered. We're going to take that and we're going to go home with it and we'll talk about that in a second."
