A very good idea my friend :)

all nudis have a very very select diet as in if you dont have what they eat they will eat nothing else , about 75% of the species collected are better off left in the ocean:)

Heh, what did they tell you it would eat?

Slyguy00 01-30-2014 02:05 AM

O they didn't tell me anything. They were unsure what it was. Thank god for can reef :mrgreen:

Ugggghhh, I need to rant here:

These animals are offered to stores as an item that THEY CAN ORDER. It's not like "oh, yah, we just got sent it for free because they think we're good peeps." The whole notion that you can just bring in whatever's pretty on the basis that someone will eventually buy it is a boat load of BS.

You know, I get it, it's within a business' right to occasionally bring in oddball/challenging animals. However, there are some folks that just take it too far. Some animals will always be problematic in captivity. They should, as Denny stated, be left in the ocean. Quite frankly, I don't really care how a customer chooses to spend their money. My frustration is when the stores that they pay patronage to abuse ignorance and bring in the "little pretties" to make a quick buck. Please, to all of everyone who has some modicum of self-respect for their hobby and money, there are some things you simply should not buy. And correspondingly, there are some retailers that DO NOT DESERVE the faux pas on account of "not knowing". Bullsh1t. They knew and they ordered on purpose. And they should be punished for it.
