Just me talking....
Lately I have been collecting a good bit of ZPs. Many of which didn't even make it home because of fresh cuts and improper handling. (THAT REALLY TICKS ME OFF)
BUT, I rarely ever mention anything to the seller. I just take my hit and move on because I know it'll be a never ending battle with bad blood. There are now a certain few vendors/individuals that I will not buy from again.
That is the point of my posting. Here is the point:
When I do have healthy and stable polyps in my tank, sometimes there are a few that just don't do well and melt away. Maybe I move them around too much, maybe I don't have enough flow, whatever the reason is it just doesn't work out. (fruit loops give me the worst time!)
Anyhow, my point is, I don't fret anymore over the loss of polyps. 25pp even 50pp; just not an issue for me anymore. The way I see it, if it didn't survive in my tank, it wasn't mean't to be in my care. The most expensive polyp i've lost was a $200 bowser. I really didn't twitch. It sucks and I won't try it again but it's whatever. As of late, if one dies on me, I say oh well.
How do you guys fare when losing ZPs? Even the ones you covet the most or owned for a long time?
