    Yup, the guy there at that petco is pretty cool. I actually helped him do the setup for the planted tank. Not to shabby for a petco! But the lil snowflakes looked bad, so skinny and ill lookin.

      yeah he seemed excited about the planted discus tank and I was impressed as well. I'm glad someone is willing to help out their local petco.

                a good plant guy can make a difference at even a petco. the aquatics manager at the petsmart in humble has a degree that pertains to the aquatic husbandry field and it shows. even she doesnt seem to be able to get corporate to send good plants though. they seem to want to go to the type that are tissue cultured and sold in gel packs.

                  it is hard for one or a few good employes to change a corporate. mainly when they are not the ones picking the stuff. and the farmers do not care as they are not inspecting the quality of the products.
