Anybody else notice the seemingly higher percentage of new mixers out of the box recently? Ones with no clue being sold two different tincs or a tinc and an auratus or a leuc and a tinc?
I'm not gifted in the art of subtleties on the matter , but someone should be interjecting...
Darts with parasites are analogous to mixed tanks, there are no known benefits to the frogs with either.
If tone is more important to you than content, you are at the wrong place.

Or perhaps more of them are hearing about the forums as sources for care advice... In other words, there were probably a bunch of people buying darts and getting bad info 5-10 years ago, but we see more of them now b/c the forums are more widely known...

Or, they realize they know nothing and have made an impulse buy and turn to the one thing everyone has access to, interweb advise ...which time-wise should come before the advise given by the "respectable seller" [sic] who told them to mix.
Everyone has heard about forums, well before they heard about darts.
Why not
start learning ,
then get the frogs? So one's feelings are not hurt when we tell them they need to start reading. Reading a lot.

It almost never works that way....research first. I bet close to 90% of people engage in 'impulse animal buys".
The real disappointment is the SELLER. When you can trace it back to the seller who plied them with the animals...

...and the buyer NEVER seems to want to tell you who it was that sold them sphagnum a ten gallon and two runty tincs from two different locales.
