Where do you buy your fish?

[BCOrchidGuy]

Troy, I never said J&L isn't a great store.... I don't know why you think that I did say that but I didn't. I still shop there. BUT it isn't the only fish store in the Burnaby area. There is also perky's pets in new west, I bought a nice Frontosa Mpimbwe there. I also bought some nice daffodil brichardi there. I've never bought marine fish from them so I can't comment on their fish or inverts but I did have good luck with the freshwater stuff.

As far as copper goes, Cu is useless to almost everything except inverts at a less than medicinal dosage from my understanding. Why these places use copper in their system is beyond me, from what I understand they may as well be using antibiotics for a short period of time. I think it does nothing good for the fish, and in the long run it MAY (notice I didn't does) contribute to harder to treat parasites/protazoa's and other nasties.

Thats just my opinion, if you don't like my opinion why not ban me from posting, if not why not give it a rest.
