An important factor in all of this is the informed hobbiest. This thread is a perfect example.Putting pressure on LFS and wholesale companies, to not carry items that are difficult/impossible to keep is a start. How about implementing an USL (Unsuitable Species List) for wholesale/LFS to not purchase?
Wow a chance post and it is going 3 pages with excellent comments from all and no flames
Saltcreep the idea that we can make a difference and put pressure on our suppliers to get cyanide free fish and stop importing and selling fish on a USL is great. It will benefit everyone because we can get healthier fish. New reefers benefit because they wont get stuck with impossible to keep species and cyanide fish.
We can all start right now by ASKING where it came from right after we ask to see it eating.
I would be really interested in the owners of LFS and online stores reaction to these informed reefer questions.
