That's an understatement. Are you suggesting that the other LFS livestocks which serve the community are with a lower quality? hence the inflated prices?

 

Truth to be said, perform your own due diligence in conditioning your livestocks.. bearing in mind, all livestocks are perishable...

 

on another note anyone care to share their customer service or after care experiences it's nice to hear some feedback!

Couldn’t agree more on point no. 2 

I think customer service is what truly sets the various LFS apart, cause like you said, even though we can assume and place our trust in our most patronized LFS, we can’t exactly be sure where and how they were caught either, cause most of the fish probably came a long way and went through a number of middlemen before the LFS, then to the consumer. Then again it’s not so bad here as it is in the states or UK cause Singapore is also part of SEA/tropical Asian regions which is where most of the fishes come from

 

IMO the LFS that are most transparent about where their fish were from and how they were obtained are perhaps the more reliable choice, but who knows how the fish were actually obtained and transported at the source? In that time they may have been bundled with plenty other fish for hours with no food. This is probably why many LFS promote pellet-eating, ‘stable’ fishes. But again, it’s up to the consumer to do their due diligence to Ensure that the fish truly is alright. I’ve seen fish that are feeding well suddenly die 2 Days later due to diseases like velvet. Very common in the aquarium trade due to the way fishes are shipped/transported together en masse.

 

Also I’m pretty sure unethical practice of capture like via cyanide is still common in places like Indonesia and the Philippines. And with more and more bans from other more reputable places like Hawaii and Australia(the latter tends to really jack up the prices too), our bargain hunter of a community is certainly more prone to getting the cheaper options that tend to come from sources like Indonesia and the Philippines.

 

Either way, TLDR; catch your own fish so you know exactly how it was obtained heh

Well narrated. In rgds to transparency, I doubt it. Two LFS may carry the same supplier, hence don't justify the premium in prices if they were from the similar sources.

Like myself, I'm sure the community will like to hear more Feedback for CS and after care services

If you don't mind the 20-40% premium as what "Leong_rei" mentioned, I'm sure sixth avenue will carry many healthy s blue tangs. In regards to why the premium, it's the consumer choice I'm guessing they have a good Customer Relation for before sales?? It will be good to hear more feedbacks from those which dealt with them before and after sales.

Will that be $100 discount for the next purchase? At the very least you did have some sort of compensation by the way, any reason why your AT did not survive?

Nope. they quoted me AT for $550 when their usual retail price was at $650/750/850. Not so sure but could be due to stress. Anyway they are one of the sponsors should i shall not comment much
