Just got lion fish last night

I use to be like you, except with a black tang. I thought I was god and thought I could control when it could die or heal it's wounds.

 

sorry about your obvious problem Tbstr3 - its a very sad and frustrating experience for you

I cant see the video , but I can certainly trust Incognito's appraisal of the situation

for any other contributors to this thread
please follow Incognito's example of diplomacy and dont make it a "company" flaming session

**** happens im looking for a trust worth place to buy from now on its just hard to find somthing close to me up here in wisconsin

 

You can buy from craigslist or online like LA

 

wow, im new to this hobby but that fish looks really sick. i would def. say something to the place u bought it from

 

3 reef member Horkn is from Wisconsin , maybe worth a PM find out where he shops

might be worth starting a thread "Wisconsin, reefkeepers, where do you shop"?

I am sorry that you are having such a bad time and I am really sorry that you will most likely loose that fish, if you haven't already. You really should never buy a fish from any store unless you see it eat first, especially one that eats live foods. If you stick to this rule you will have allot less trouble. Reason I say this is that fish looks as if it had not eaten for quite some time, its really skinny.

You also might want to consider looking into buying stuff from Live Aquaria, which is Foster and Smiths Fish and Coral outlet, Allot of their stuff comes from right there in Rhinelander Wisconsin, The best part is the fact that they have a 14 day arrive alive and stay alive Guarantee. You could buy several fish at a time help cut shipping costs, or is there any other reefers in your area, maybe you could get one interested in doing a group buy.

 

I agree on teh assessments for the rest. that poor fish was doomed from the time you looked at it. always witnessa fish eat before purchaseing it. that said, as far as a good place to get fish, Live aquaria has facilities in Wisconsin. I know for a fact that they allow local pickup as well. that might be teh best option or have them delivered to your house.

 

well guys just wanted to update he did pass but for some odd reason i was refunded my money yahhh thanks for all your help and i will be finding a new place to shop thanks again

 

Sorry to hear it. There was nothing you could have done. :-(

Glad to hear you got a refund. Thumbs up.
