"Tropical Fish Secrets"

[john5748]

How many people have noticed this ad in just about every tropical fish site I go into (present company excluded)

http/www.tropicalfishsecrets.com/?hop=kim123

I am by nature a very suspicious man, but does anyone know if this is any good because I am also very lazy but if this can show me easier ways of doing something and maybe not losing fish through been a novice then maybe it would be worth it??

 

[debiasir]

hmm suspicious i am very sceptical about that

Well thatis the first time i have ever seen it, but i took a quick look at the link and after lots of ego boosting, bum kissing, book bibling etc it just looks like another "how to cycle your tank" and "what fish to put with other fish" etc kind of book. The link makes it sound like its some sort of Indiana Jones secrets of the Fish Bible, but realy its hasn't got anything that isn't already written down on this site. Waste of money realy.

 

[john5748]

Yeah i agree if it looks too good to be true it probaly is, at least that's what I tell my wife all the time when she is on Ebay

i have seen so many ads for that book on google and stuff, it sounds like some guy who knows nothing about fish decided to write a book to make some money because i don't think some of those things in it are right.

why do you need that book when you got this forum of helpful people?

my 2 cents worth

Tropical fish secrets yet it looks like a marine tank to me...

 

[Torrean]

ummm aren't marine fish tropical fish too? I thought there were two divisions in tropical fish, marine and freshwater. I'm probably just confused. Oh yeah and brackish.

 

[vantgE]

Technically but not generally

plus the fish that I noticed mentioned were freshies


EDIT

what the heck do they mean by this

the gentle hum of the air pump

Airpumps are not gentle humming machines, I sleep with three they are the devil

 

[alabaster]

This book is a scam--pure bull***t. I'd rather burn in hell than give this idiot my credit card number.

 

[bluefire]

i agree to that one^

 

[dwarfgourami]

Oh, it sounds just like one of those letters from Nigeria, except there is nothing about car crashes and politicians in it. Either the whole thing is a complete con, or a book exists filled with common platitudes. Either way, why bother (and risk revealing your credit card number), as long as there are standard works to be consulted in public libraries (cheaper) and you folks to consult (better). For all the hype, he doesn't actually mention any questions that a reasonably competent aquarist shouldn't be able to answer- and there are plenty of those on the forum.

I think I've seen this (or something similar) for sale on ebay...

The 6 special rules you NEED know to prevent you from accidently killing your fish!

I just found that bit funny...

The 6 special rules you NEED know to prevent you from accidently killing your fish!

That's an interesting question. I thinkI'll start a thread asking what people's 6 rules would be....

 

[Undawada]

Even if there was some magic product that would keep my tanks nice and clean and my fish healthy forever, I wouldn't use it if it were free.

Why? I enjoy taking care of my tank too much... it is a hobby after all
