Hope they remembered to use the code for the $50 gift card!!!
I thought the convo was clear.
I think buying and hopefully keeping an animal waaaaay outside it's natural habitat is not a wise choice.
But! Who am.i to tell ppl how to spend their money. Forgive me for coming across that way.
I just think its injustice to buy an animal that has no reason to be in an unnatural environment.
All.my fish? Yeah somewhat in my own unnatural environment but the youngest one is 5yrs old. Smthg to be said about that.
Ley me backpedal a bit. I have no idea who bought this fish. Maybe the person is a Master in the hobby...has a HUGE tank. Facts are unknown.
Just this post reminds me everytime I see a Flame Angel and know with a 90% certainty that it will.not survive past 12mos. I get frustrated when I see them at LFSs.
This outrageous fish reminds me of that.....

My point here wasn't to say well look what they did mom. My point was that by going to a restaurant or store, buying and eating seafood we silently endorse the loss of life that is by-catch.I'm also not a fan of the "whataboutism" that this hobby likes to tout when comparing the tropic fish taken for aquariums vs. fish caught for food.
You just proved my point. Because they ARE so long domesticated and don't reflect their wild origins very well we are "allowed" to posses them without ridicule.I don't think your points on cats & dogs (and horses to a lesser extent) is valid since they have truly been domesticated over thousands of years and would no longer survive in the wild. Other than that I don't think it's an ethical dilemma, I think it's wrong. Do zoos still pull animals out of the wild
Now that's just cruel ! Just kidding. It's kinda like having two broken arms and an itchy nose, lol. Cute dog though.
LiveAquaria sends out a preview every afternoon of what they are listing at 6pm est.
Nah, do your research. Last one was sold for around 30k.
LiveAquaria sends out a preview in the morning for what they are listing at 6pm. Many people, including myself, monitor that preview and snatch up stuff at 6:01 pm.
No need for conspiracy theories lol

They still could have had a buyer lined up. Why would a business invest 25k in a fish ? They have profits to waste? [RHETORICAL]
When you sell a 25k fish, yes you make PROFIT. BUT, you also have a huge opportunity to publicise the transaction.
There is NOTHING wrong with that. But I prefer to see behind the "Magic Curtain" than to be wooed and awed without self-awareness.
Lol. Okay- a couple things.
I already have seen behind the “curtain”. The person who purchased the fish has over 16k gallons of Aquariums in their home, and has many fish in a similar price range (including, one of these exact angels). Now he will have a pair.
Did you talk to the owner and ask about how he obtained the fish?
It's vital that people with FIRST HAND knowledge like yourself Come Forward in order to show the public what went on. The general public depends on whistleblowers to level the information playing field. What you did today is for the greater good and we all thank you for it
This may be a dumb question, but if this fish is used to living at 400 feet, how can it survive in 2 feet of water in an aquarium?
it's faux sarcastic, so two negatives make a positiveI can’t tell if this is sarcastic lol. But if not..: you’re welcome? It’s not really “whistleblowing”. There was no conspiracy in the first place. They sold an expensive angel- and there was nothing unusual about the transaction.... you can see $25k angels online currently.

Agreed! I was looking for a popcorn gif and this popped Poor pooch , that is cruel and my point to the earlier (heated) discussion, people keep all types of pets that are not living as they should.Now that's just cruel ! Just kidding. It's kinda like having two broken arms and an itchy nose, lol. Cute dog though.

That is why I discourage people from inventing (false) hypothetical situations. (Is that better than saying conspiracy theories?) Why should a company disclose to you the identity of a customer who purchased something very valuable? That is NEVER the case in any business; it’s called customer confidentiality.
I'll only believe that if I see a picture of you holding the daily newspaper next to the fish. Otherwise my theory is there was a secret bidding war and you can't convince me otherwise because it could be possible.
Hopefully you don't wonder if this one is sarcasm

They sold an expensive angel- and there was nothing unusual about the transaction.... you can see $25k angels online currently. An advanced hobbiest who can afford the fish, bought the fish.
For example, here is another expensive angel. No conspiracy.
Now this is the fish I would buy if I had $25k to spend on a fish!
