    Ok at my lfs "Big something" on something street. Not hard to figger out what store its called.

    Ok i was waiting to buy a cleaner shrimp and they lady in front of me had a 10g tank and a bag of CC and heater and filter and a hood with a light in a shopping cart and i waited as the guy sold her some live rock and then he helped me get the shrimp and the lady came back up to him after and said she likes the mono fish and the guy tells her she could get one if she washes the CC out really good first before adding it to the tank. Anyways he sold her the mono fish.The fish was about 4'' tall and 3'long.

    Haha that's dumb, they can get to 11 inches in the wild but not usually over 6 in a tank. They are also usually recommended to be kept in a group of at least 3 which requires at least 50 gallons....

    LFS are so awesome...basically comes down to personal research and understanding to make the correct choices every time.

    At one point i wanted on but i did not get them cause the guy did not know if they wear reef safe and Google did not help much.

    But come on the tank is not even have water in it and he sells her a fish saying if she washes the cc vary well before adding it that she could put the fish in today

    Yea, my tanks bigger but it definitely took a few weeks before it was good to go.
