It's sad to see that, and worse to think it could be real and probably is. Some people just don't know how wrong that is while others seem not to care

The first tank I bought was from our local bargin finder. It was a 20gal with a medium size volitan lionfish, green wolf eel blenny, tomato clown, and saddleback puffer. I promptly moved them all into a 48gal... I'm sure that ad is quite real.

People buy from all over and from other reefers. Don't think you can assume an LFS is to blame.

Either Adobe or poor choices by a noob are to blame here and I'm leaning towards the latter now...

It might be a joke but either way I sent the 'seller' a message telling him how ashamed he should be of himself. It was pointy-worded. That should teach him!

Sorry Brett should of restated that, which "moronic person" sold them those. If I ever release a fish into someone else's care the first thing I do is ensure that it is going to a good home. I see faults on both sides, the reason I was leaning towards the LFS is because of the pristine condition of the biocube and that it's on Kijiji and not canreef.

It looks like someone had an impulse buy, didn't do there research and now is trying to get out. Formalities aside anyone have room for these fish?

Levi, you seem not in a good mood today, huh ? :-) Well not all LFS selling the fish will ask what tank size you have :-), they prefer not too. I just surprise that these three fishes can still do well accordingly to the picture
Haha, Na just me being my overly opinionated self like usual . I'm surprised also that regal must be going crazy!
