Neasco hit it on the head
He is exactly right. If you try and save a fish from the LFS tank all you are doing is encouraging the LFS to buy more, thereby causing more overall suffering.
I know it is incredibly difficult to pass up some of the beautiful animals that come through the LFS but we have a responsibility too.
Think spider mans motto.
There is a link somewhere on canreef that states the commonly availible tank raised fish. I think that is the direction that we, as responsible salties, should be going.
I dont blame anyone for getting that rare fish, because I have done it myself but overall we should try not too.
My 2 cents
