    Thought of starting a thread for all those hearsay facts.
    Will start with the first one.

    Happy Busting

    MYTH: Fish only grow as large as their tanks.
    BUSTED! : They will grow as large as their DNA depicts them to do.

    MYTH: Sailfin Mollies are a good beginner/starter fish
    BUSTED: Sailfin Mollies need hard, high PH water with a dash of salt and are susceptable to a number of fungal and bacterial diseases. Thus they are NOT good beginner fish:idea:

    Myth:: Guppies are easy beginner fish
    Busted Guppies that are being sold at the LPS market at the moment (in Jhb) are of pure quality, and usually do not survive the stress of relocating. (Unless you getting them from a reputible place like Dolphin)
