This discussion came up in another area, I figured it deserved it own thread.
What information do you prefer 1st hand experience from other members or internet care sheets ?
I'll take 1st hand experience any day of the week over an internet care sheet. I can see care sheets being useful for commonly kept fish like loaches, barbs, oscars ect ect. But imo anything uncommon like polys is best learned from other trusted members on forums like mfk or FB. Not that they are completely useless but should be vetted by more experienced hobbyists.

Allot of inaccurate and outdated info in the above links.
