I know exactly what I want in my tank but can’t have…
Hey maybe one day you can haha
High rate of cyanide fish?
Not the only one wanting an apex!
I’d like to have my Black Phantom Angel hybrid back
Buy quarantined fish (like from the several vendors that advertise here) - Cyanide tends to kill the fish a few weeks after shipping so any quarantined shipper who keeps the fish for 30 days+ before shipping it has basically taken all of that risk onto themselves.
It's an illegal method used in some countries to capture fish. There is no good way for us to know the source method of capture of the fish in the hobby. If caught with cyanide, usually the fish dies within a week or so after purchase. I'm sure some exceptions apply. They are caught, shipped, and sold to the consumer often in the same week as well.
Dang, that is awful, had no clue that was a thing
If they were just a little bit cheaper, I would pull the trigger on one. I'm honestly just waiting for a sale or getting lucky on a raffle to get one haha
Yeah. My big problem is they're priced like vehicle trims- you have to get the expensive models to get the features everyone actually wants (imo), alk/parameter monitoring. Or they're parasitic and require a separate unit to function fully a la GHL. I like the Hydros a lot but it annoys me companies use temp and ORP as selling points for a budget model. Most people already have budget solutions i.e. Inkbird or Wyze, so may as well differentiate at the start. Imo there is a gap in the market for an affordable (sub 400) model that does alk and calcium monitoring and nothing else, or tests and doses both but doesn't require 45 separate parts.
