Dispar_Anthias, on 18 December 2012 - 03:54 PM, said: Main topic aside. I agree that no wild caught fishes are parasites free but purchasing from shop that takes good care of their livestock such as quarantining and acclimitizing it before hand reduces most if not some of the parasites. This will at least gives the fish a fighting chance as it allows the immune system of the fish to slowly recover as all fishes that arrives at LFS suffer from long flight journey, are stressed up and thus their immune system will be at the lowest. With proper acclimitation, the fish will not be further stressed upon in its new environment and thus will have a higher chance to feed. A feeding fish usually is a thriving fish. Comparing to a shop that do not acclimitize or handle their fishes properly and adding them into tank with poor water quality exposing them to more alien parasites I believe I will pay slightly more for better quality fishes. I may end up with a fish that thrives for years compared to having a multiple that will just waste away should I get them from LFSes that do not condition their livestocks. I believe this is especially true for touchy fishes eg. Achilles Tang where i witness on many occasions reefers will paying alot more for a established and feeding fish compared to rushing down LFSes to chance upon a newly arrvied. If you speak to reefers enough, you will know that there are certain LFSes "specialise" in such finicky fishes such as Regal angels, Achilles Tang, Moorish Idols and the hit rate of getting a healthy and thriving fish with them is rather high. Additional point to note is that getting a fish from LFS with improper husbandary may end up with one biggest regret as the new livestock may bring along foreign parasites with it and you end up infecting your whole tank and killing all your established and precious fishes in a short time frame. The name would be very familiar to most reefers , "Marine Velvet". Thus I believe in terms of pricings, its always a willing buyer, willing seller and I am one who is abit more KIASU and will fork more to get a healthy livestock at a LFS with better husbandary not renowed as some renowed LFS have pretty poor husbandary. To know how good is the husbandary, you just need to look at how the lfs personnels handle the livestock when new shipment arrives. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WELL said man! This is the kind of reefer I'm talking about. Unlike others, knows little & rants alot... LoL --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glad that you finally agreed on the pricing issue. Hopefully next time you won't start the Ranting Non Stop ya .... "Own Goal" ...

STOP Ranting ... Move on. You can don't buy if you are not happy with their prices. Simple as that. You can start a New Thread for this Discussion...

Can Mix & Match or Disaster ?
Bulldozer replied to Bulldozer's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
Roger. Thanks -
Fully Agreed !!!
-
Yeap.... we buy whatever we are willing to pay and feel good about it. End of the day, if they sell it too high above market norm, most will not patronise them anymore. Then it's time for them to reconsider their positioning again ...
-
Being neutral .... Consumers like us has no rights to decide if the Business Owner selling price is Too High, Low or Reasonable. As the word implies ... Business allows the Owner to decide what type of profit margin he or she wants. If we cannot match their price or they cannot match our expectation in price... don't buy. No obligations ... Afterall, individuals have their own formulas for running a business ... End of the day, they don't need to explain or justify to us their business costings, overheads and risk to us. Same for their pricing. "Wanna Buy, Just Buy. Don't wanna buy, Bye Bye" Simple as that ..... let's just buy from places that we feel shiok about and be happy ..
