Not up on the mustard sturgeon are they an endemic species? If so the Fish and Wildlife people might have concerns with it being in a display

(thinking about the news story the other day were people were collection rattlesnakes for selling)

Not sure either mark, I've seen this tang before but not that big and this store is notorious for bringing in fish if shouldn't and letting them rot, it's swimming in circles freaking out because it can't turn around. This company needs to learn sooner than later that there's a fine line between sellable and morally wrong

okay a Tang (Surgeon) not a Sturgeon, that wasn't pulled from the North Sask Rvr. Fish and Wildlife won't care but agreed small tank, hope it goes to a good home soon.

Have we let this lfs know that it has a responsibility for the animals they are keeping?
If so are they telling us to take a hike.
Maybe it is time to call in the SPCA. Than they may take notice.

Wayne, the SPCA only deals with animals, and fish are not animals (I've had this argument with them before)
