[quote=Slick Fork;539372]
Lets switch it away from fish for a second, if you want to buy a pair of super high energy border collies I'm not going to sit back and criticise what kind of food you buy them, whether they're crated at night or not, etc. BUT, if you leave them locked in a 10x20 room or on a 10 foot chain in the yard, all day every day you can bet that people will get ****ed off and say something about it. This is the same thing. QUOTE] it's actually not the same thing... one is a mammal and carries significantly higher intelligence. The other is a fish. Also, I think the fact that this fish obviously looks healthy and is 5 years of age speaks for itself. With all the problems the ocean and the environment has, this issue is one of the last things anyone who actually gives a $%*t should spend time and energy worrying about....IMO. Think about what a crappy experience being caught and shipped is for the average fish we enjoy so much, if "best practice" was truly your monicher, you would have to only buy from proven and relaible breeders of tank raised species. otherwise, this is just hypocritical nonsense....IMO.

I was thinking once this thread runs its course we could discuss gay marriage, abortion, and the Palestinian issue.

Your comment was and it was one of the better ones: "As responsible hobbyists it's important that we pass along "best practices" methods as we learn from our collective experience. How that comes across is sometimes misinterpreted. " Many were unnecessary personal but hey I can take the heat.
