Decline of LFS

Penguin · 10-27-2001, 11:56 AM

I went to a certain LFS this morning and was really upset about what I saw there. This place seemed to have decent livestock when I discovered them about 2 years ago, but lately I every time I go in there it's worse. Today I saw the worst looking yellow tangs I've ever seen--emaciated and so faded they weren't even really yellow anymore. Sohal tangs scratching constantly on tank decorations. Angels lying on tank bottom gasping. Not to mention a number of "questionable" species such as cleaner wrasses, rock beauties, batfish (with a bad case of ich), and 10-inch leopard sharks that I'm sure will probably end up in some customer's 55g tank.

Oh, and they were also selling some "yellow polyps" that I could've sworn were really Aptasia.

It was really disgusting. I went in today just looking for some fish food, but they didn't even have what I wanted. I don't think I'll ever go back there now.

Sorry, just had to vent.
