Random Things you should know.

Walking into a pet fish store and excited about getting an aquarium and some fishes? Gracefully approached the shop owner asking for advice on your first aquarium and fished? What I can tell you is , you are gonna end up with alot of dead fishes in the end and alot of wonders what you did wrong.  Why ? The shop owner is the last person you wanna ask because they only see you as a walking dollar sign . They want to keep you coming back to their shop and give them business ofcourse ! How do they do that ? They practice the "do not tell when not asked " motto . They are not gonna tell you:-

A. Essential things to have in an aquarium are oxygen pump and filter.

B. What fishes don't do well with other species and will rip their fins off or have them as snack.

C. What type of water that the fishes are suitable in and so on . 

You will end up going back to the store buying more fishes and other supplies . 

The store owner will greet you and will listen to your problem and solve ( suggest you to buy ) one item at a time . 

Yup , that friendly pet store owner is secretly wishing all your fishes die to keep you coming back . 

Baking powder / soda bicarbonate

Not many people know just how magical this sucker is besides using it for the obvious reason of baking but I am sure you are using it or have used it . 

Well , it is the active ingredient in your toothpaste and deodorant . It is the ingredient that makes your teeth whiter or that controls your perspiration and neutralize odours and a whole lot of other functions and it only costs a few bucks to get a box of it that will last you a year . 

Yes, people are taking it, adding in other properties and scent, repackage it into different forms and basically making alot of profit from this widely available household powder. 

By the way, it works the same or maybe more efficient as toothpaste or deodorant when you use it all by itself .Yes, baking powder as deodorant or toothpaste. Sounds weird because it is not marketed that way but it works very well!
