Let's talk LFS

[AcroNem]

That's right, THOSE LFS's. The one's that bother you but are somehow still in business. The one's that post a picture of every tank packed with fish and say "just got these this morning and they're ready to go!" Do they care at all about the animals you're selling? I'd bet not. Sounds to me you're just trying to make a quick buck and move "product" before it dies in your customer's tank. Does this infuriate anyone else? Why do people still shop at these stores? Even more importantly, those of you who may own one of these stores. Why in the hell do you think this is okay? Where's the care? Where's the quarantine? Why am I asking people who care all of these questions? Because they're the only ones that will listen. Keep your consciences intact everyone.

its a business. if the stupid masses keep them afloat, they get what they deserve.

i can dislike a lot of things, but dumb consumers are to blame here.

I can agree to an extent, but I still put a lot of the blame on the store. I have a lot of respect for one if I ask about a fish or piece of coral and get told it needs a couple of weeks before they'll sell it.
