Off topic liao

Yes.. they were nv farms in the first place... basically they are called "farms" because they are located near FW fish "farm" and also have a bigger shop area than usual lfs and lastly they are not located in the central/town area

bro you replying to who? No quoting from you If its me den I have to say.... if all corals survive every shipment den lfs no business liao Anway also regarding the corals arriving good condition... That have to go to the collection of the corals and every single process be4 the coral reach the lfs as every single detail no done properly may cause the coral to suffer or DOA... Also no just non cities coral are badly pack.. I have seen cites coral shipment wipe out due to bad handling or packing... in fact some non cites corals arrive in better condition compared to the cites coral liek i say all goes to the supplier...

yeah... thats whats so good abt discussion.. No end... But i hope the no end discussion comes from reefers that come with good intention not from funny characters tat appear no where Eh fragger and farmers are in high demand now.... in fact farms that are aquaculturing clams could not meet the demand for clams in the market

Bro gouldian say be4.. in terms of aqua cultured for fishes(for consumption) we have huge facilities and we focus alot in that area..We are one of the world major ornamental fish player but sadly we do not focus in aquaculturing(for corals and ornamental fishes) that much yet... Also we not in "ang mo" era yet, they are willing to invest on aqua culturing and they have the patience.. We chinese dun have the patience and most of us(especially the elderly ones) do not believe in such things... America, you see so many of them doing the conservation thigny but us chinese, we buy funny creatures, we eat and use endangered animals products like sea horse, turtle, tiger skin.. so conservation in our race still got alot of space for improvement... Again my 2cents worth DA

You cannot stop them.. gheez its their rice bowl... Only through creating awareness among ppl to stop buying such coral(non- cites) will den the inlfux of non- cities shipment stop(hmm maybe reduce but not stop).... Oh ya, and its the mentality.. the typical singaporean mentality to go for anything that is cheap.... Hmm a maxima for $80 and a maxima for $40 which one you take, most ppl will go for the $40 one(maybe you too without knwing that the clam comes without a cites permit) In america, they do not have so much problem with "cheong" shipment... American go for aqua cultured goods(they believe aqua culutred corals come with less pest and diseases compared to wild ones also thats why you see most american corals are usually the same where else we singaporean have funny corals in our tanks) and they are willing to pay premium so naturally most of the corals that go there are cites permit....

Bro first of all... its cites cert, not scientist cert as you mentioned .... Hmm... Yes, we have to be concerned for and be responsible for the nature... If everyone who posted here talks abt conserving for the environment, I have nothing to say(of course from the dsicussion, i know bro gouldian, bro melvyn and bro chris really talks abt the conservation and protection of the environemnt and also things regarding this topic ) .... but there are just some shabby characrter(with planktonic(not that i condem new poster) coming out of nowhere and their first few post is to add fuel to the fire regarding this topic. Also, the truth is, it is not that difficult to get the cites permit... Its just the long wait for issuing the cert and the hassle(and also due to the cost) that cause alot of lfs to bring in non- cites corals. Ok now to the pt of listing all the lfs with cites down... Firstly how do we know that which lfs bring in cites coral and which do not...(the owner tell you? or you make an effort to check the cert everytime you buy coral from a lfs?) Also some so call "clean" shop that we think would bring cities corals may also bring in non cities coral.. Like it say applying and getting cities permit is a long hassle and process so some lfs may bring in a non-cities batch of coral shipment be4 the actual shipment of cites coral arrive(just to keep business going, and prevent shop from going to "dry", something we reefer hate when we go lfs cheonging)... Like wise, those shop that we think that they may not posses the cities certification may just be bringing cities corals all the time. Lastly stating out that exact shop name for those who possess cites and those who do not posses cities may IMO bring alot of trouble to us(indirectly) and the shop All this are my 2 cents and also like you guys i condone such action but the fact is, we cannot stop such activities....

No lfs would bring them..... well unless ordered by reefers... This guys are no easy fish to find, they live at great depth thus explain the price

LOL.... okok my fault...

LOL... now weileong like fishes hat swim with their dorsal and ###### fins

eh i dun think the blue tang is suitable for a nano... Its a tang, potential to be huge fish and can no way fit into that tank
