Fish tank experts

[kelz1146]

Hey everyone!

I recently read that there is an app launching that will have professional pet/animal experts that will charge to chat live with them about any advice people may need. They mentioned tank experts. Do you think you would pay $4 pr $5 to have a conversation with a credible expert about reef and tank inquiries?

Exactly! Plus isn't it one of the fundamental rules in life that the more you pay for advice, the worse that advice is?

lol thats funny.

will this "app" also take advertisements ?

and will the "expert"'s advice sound like this ? "I recommend using the XXX remover from our sponsors" LOL

You all make some pretty good points. What if the advice was based on health or behavioral questions of sealife or "tank pets"? If you could speak directly with a trained, credited, experienced professional on aquatic life, would you chat with them about questions you have?

I suppose so that you know you are talking to someone credible and can look over their history (linkedin, website) rather than just a username?

Actually, maybe! But i know that even you could be an expert. You could make a profile to be an expert and illustrate how long you have had tanks and what types and people would pay you to give them advice on a ton of subjects on this forum.

We have many people who volunteer their time here to support the wealth of knowledge that they have made a career of. Randy Holmes-Farley is a perfect example. He and several other members keep the Reef Chemistry forum humming. We have several members that work at Universities studying marine invertebrates. The list goes on and on. Hang around a while!
