Re: Not sure what it is....

Certainly a bad situation but before people jump the guy it should be kept in mind that his lfs most likely told him every thing would be fine as he was ringing up the 300 dollar+ stocking bill.

When the inevitable problems occur with this tank there is a good chance this guy will leave the hobby in disgust. Turning a potential long term customer into no customer at all. Oddly this seems to be the most common business model when it comes to lfs. Makes no sense at all.

He also says in the "comments" section that he added the two anemones 2 to 3 weeks after he set up the tank.

Yes, but that doesn't excuse his personal responsibility to do his own research. Especially when it comes to live animals. That's their fault, not anyone else's.

Re: wow, look at this

I missed the part where it said he put the anemones in after he had the tank set up for 2-3 weeks. The guy deserves to come down on hard when he obviously is not thinking about the well being of the animals in his care.

Please do not worry about these fishes my local pet store will gladly refund my fishes, and I also have a friend that will take them off my hand. Also the comment on the anemones, just want to let you know they are doing great, I will be posting a new video soon. Thank you all for your time.
