Sounds like a great guide for responsible fishkeeping. One thing I always wonder about when choosing new fish is how reliable seller information tends to be. Have you covered any red flags to watch out for when buying fish, like misleading size estimates or improper tank conditions at the store?

ABSOLUTELY! I have heard it all, from selling panther groupers for 20 gallon tanks to tangs only grow to the size of their tanks, etc. That is why it is so important to ask the specific fish questions to the shop and google the rest. I find it is usually easy to find the fish stores that are actually honest versus the ones trying to sell you things. I usually ask a question or two to gauge their honesty. Like, asking how long a fish has been there (knowing the answer already). How big a fish gets (again already googled it). If it would go good in my tank (pick a fish that clearly won't). If I hear them misleading a customer I won't shop there. I feel like my dollars go to support the businesses I value, and I don't want to support a business that isn't doing things with good morals.
