so no one can remove my profile? it looks like I can’t. my favourite shop owner says you’re a joke. experts hahaha. his nanacara anomala are ALL OVER my tank not one of them hiding! while the “experts” said I’ll never see them, some experts… this is exactly what he explained, the forums are literally cultists and they think they are elite and superior. he himself has also been to South America with paperwork and permits and seen literal Apistogramma swimming with literal tetra and literal plecos and literal other cichlids.

All I see is a literal sillypants. Nobody here cares that your made-up shop owner has been to South America.

okay goofs.
the owner I just bought half a dozen nanacara anomala from. He himself bagged the fish and rang me up at the till. I won’t throw him under the bus or mention his name he’s got more on the line than a silly online forum of eccentrics who assume before having real facts.

okay goof

Don't forget, you came to the experts to ask about species size because you apparently don't know how big some of the most common Apistogramma in the world are. And 4 people have you answers. And you chose to get defensive because your fragile ego felt attacked.

Your shop owner is happy to continue taking your money. If they were actually knowledgeable, they'd stop selling sumps and expensive and fancy filters and driftwood and tell you the truth: you don't need that stuff to be successful. But I wouldn't expect a novice/try-hard to understand that.

I'll unsubscribe from this thread now and go tend to my fry tanks. Got a lot of fry to raise and sell!

my tank is not an open concept I have almost 1000 dollars worth of Mopani pieces in there planted with Anubias. “breaking sight lines”.
again with the assuming before asking how the tank is actually set up. assuming the hobbyist is an idiot. and that is appropriate and respectful? me having a legitimate debate is nothing compared to that.
I was beforewarned and told “the respected experts” on the Internet forums would treat me this way‍

Here’s a thought, instead of picking arguments and coming off as arrogant, maybe send a picture of the aquarium so that people reading this at least have something to reference to.
