True, but everytime I see mine swimming out, it is like a special treat :-). He is much cuter than my flame angel with his very special rounded eyes

Anyway, I don't encourage LFS to bring them in tho because the dying rate for this fish is very high, even Denis at Gold admits it

Out of 3, 2 of them died on him, the third one is still sitting there on hold. I really hope someone brings him home to avoid a similar fate to mine.

I find this really sad. Not only does the retailer lose money on a pricey fish, but the fish (which originated in our oceans) is dead, and the fish wasn't given its best fighting chance. I really do think retailers should get fish like these out the door as fast as possible and put a guarantee on them instead. It will give the fish a better chance at survival, and the vendor a better chance at making money off it.
