Hey guys,
I was at an LFS yesterday and I saw something that made my blood boil. There were purple tangs on sale for full price like $120 CAD for small and $150 CAD for medium large tangs. All of the ones on sale have some degree of HLLE/are pale from a mild case to extreme. They all looked healthy when I saw them over a month ago. It made me disgusted that the tangs were taken from the Red Sea and now at the LFS, after having them for a couple months, they have HLLE. Like seriously. Such beautiful fish are now wasting away. :furious:
It honestly seems unethical. The fish are suffering and on top of that charging the customer full price for a fish which is diseased and has been mistreated. Will not be taking my business there anymore.
My question is that is it common for fish like tangs to be mistreated like this at LFS's? I only frequent a few LFS and this is honestly the worst case of HLLE at an LFS I have seen.
