Wow Keri, thanks for the link! Yep, that's Goldfish Street alright!

Some things out there just don't seem ethical!

I saw one store sell 2 sea horses to a young kid (about 12 yrs old I'd guess) & his mother. They sold him the seahorses, a small plastic tank (maybe 3 or 4 gallons?), a sachet of sea salt mix & a few bags of live mysis. I'd be surprised if they lasted more than a few days

I asked about the fish-in-bags thing and apparently they sell their livestock so fast that most don't hang around (excuse the pun!) for more than a day or so.

They only seem to keep the really expensive stuff in the display tanks. Thing like speciality goldfish, arowana's & some SW stuff.

I think there was only 2 or 3 SW places last time I was there.

I can still picture that Emperor Angel about 7 or 8 inches long stuffed into a bag barely 10 inches wide... I wanted to take him home there & then!

Anyways, I'll keep you posted!

See you when I get back Darryl.
