Oh my. This is like a test your disease presentation video. What’s wrong with the chromis?

 

[Humblefish]

Little ginger in the water will clear all that right up. :p

That whole video is sad.

I hear kerosene kills all parasites as well.

Holy cow! You're lucky if they survive the ride home!!

 

[Saveafish]

I love saving fish. I'm a really nice guy. But, LFS like that needs to be just shut down and exposed.

I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry...WAAAHHHHHH!!!

 

[Saveafish]

I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry...WAAAHHHHHH!!!

Right.

Aww yeah....throw a little ginger off in there and they'll all be cured!!!:p:p

You wouldn't believe some of the ridiculous things I've heard on these YouTube live streams lately. I have no clue where people get some of this stuff.

One guy the other night said...."Well, typically if a fish is gonna have problems...it's usually in the first couple of days." "After that...I just throw them in the tank."

"Another guy said...I run copper at half the dose...it helps the fish better."

SMH......:eek:

 

[Fastpitch]

I'm gonna be sick.:oops:

Even if you dont care a rats @%* about the fish. How do they make any money? Doesnt seem to be a sustainable business model.

Sad.

That’s sad. My LFS actually tells customers they don’t reccomend QT either. They are actually a pretty great store overall but I definitely disagree with them on that advice. None of their tanks have a single fish that visibly looks unhealthy like what is posted in this thread but they run low level copper in their fish only systems so ich could be masked. They do have a nice healthy looking display with some pretty sensitive fish somehow so they must have better luck than me.

Exactly. That is disgusting

That LFS will be out of business in no time! Please let us know the name of this store! Thanks

Not cool. Not cool at all. I watched this while eating dinner. I feel sick. :(

Didn't listen to the video with sound so sorry if this is already answered but do you mind naming the LFS? This really is something that novice aquarists could have turn them off the hobby if they're starting out and don't know any better only to lose fish days later and get turned off from it.

 

[Jacked Reefer]

Should they even carry pbts if they can’t keep DAMSELS alive? Wish the owners could get ich. Scum.

Heavy UV and diatom filtration, probably. Combined with subtherapeutic copper, their fish will always look great more or less. Unfortunately telling people they should qt would absolutely kill a large number of potential sales, so they don't. And then just hope that the fish will survive in the customer's tank long enough that they don't realize that they came in with subclinical infections.

Although on the other hand, their experience could be that most customers don't do QT correctly and wind up killing more fish than they cure. I can't say that this is always incorrect; QT is intimidating and can be hard to do successfully.
