Then I came to this, very confused lol
Great point Mario!!
Once looking into a fish, you find out typically why they call them "expert" level and what not. Becuase of their high maintenance feeding on the ones I was looking at. And to me.. that is not expert, that is.. having the resources to provide the food/needs that are needed by that particular animal. You raise a wonderful point though.. so by me keeping a porc puffer, would I be an expert? I do not believe so.. I believe and expert is somebody that have vast experience in this hobby and knows so much on several of the topics.
