![]() Nice photos of some really nice corals as usual!
![]() However, I have disheartened to see that you carry Banded Sharks (aka Bamboo Sharks), as well as Flying Gurnards. Both of which should be left in the ocean. Could you explain why you endorse the import of these animals? |

![]() The never ending debate of what should and shouldn't be left in the ocean. ![]() Everyone has their own "opinion". What criteria is used to determine what should and shouldn't be imported? Survival rate? Wild populations? Size? Care level? Thousands of "easy-to-keep" fish die in this hobby every year due to beginner mistakes, equipment failure, compatibility issues etc.... is it acceptable because they are common in the wild? Because they are cheap? Because they are easy to care for? Because of an equipment failure accident? We don't justify any loss of any species, but how do you determine what is acceptable casualties of the hobby and what isn't? We are fortunate enough to have a customer base with experience and tanks large enough who have had success with "harder-to-keep species". These fish are not sold to just anyone with a 55gallon aquarium. There is always a risk when buying any fish, coral, invert, etc. Even for the most experienced keepers. We are taking these animals from the wild and trying to replicate their natural environment in a glass box after all. A far cry from the ocean where they come from no matter what species we are talking about. Quote:

![]() Don't you just love it when someone tells you how to run your business? You do have a choice of who you sell your products to or who you can ask to leave your store when they show up with these so called lists.
