Catch your own fishes?

[clownfish_forever]

Hi brothers,

Just curious. When you buy a fish from the LFS, do you prefer to catch your own fish or would you get the store owner to catch it for you?

I have a friend who always insist of not dirtying his hands, so he will always get the store owner/helper to catch the fish for him. But I will always prefer to do it myself unless it is a tank full of expensive fishes, then I may not want to risk scaring or hurting them.

What about you?

See if the LFS staffs or owners are good enough to catch healthy fish then i'll ask the staff or owners but if not reputible then i catch on my own.

I got different view. If the shop is allow to catch fish to buyer, those ppl who don't know how to catch fish will stir the tank and chase with only one net to get the particular fish he want and disturb and stress the whole habitants of the tank and sometime they take more than 5min to catch a fish. Then you come next to him, all the fishes inside that tank will be already stress a lot. I normally saw this kind of situation at i****a.
