Re: [GSAS-Member] Denny's has galaxy rasboras: $25 each

[John Ruhland <john@drruhland.com>]

I feel the same about most fish stores. For them fish are products, and  
they'll do what they need to in order to make money rather than what is  
best for the fish. To me, Liems is an example of a store where it would  
be horrible to be a fish. It is dirty, dead fish float in the tanks,  
etc. To support stores that care well for the fish, I'd rather buy  
tanks and equipment from them, and get fish from other hobbyists.

I'm trying to sell my Daffodil bichardi's now, possibly as a complete  
set-up. They are breeding very happily and consistently. I'm slowly  
trying to downsize, especially since the power outage and watching Al  
Gore's film about global warming. I highly recommend that film to  
others.

If you know anything about puppy mills and the horrors this trade  
creates, you already understand why.

This unfortunately leaves me with very few choices of LFS in the  
Seattle area, since for some reason most of the shops out here with any  
interesting fish (fish gallery and pets, and apparently, dennys) seem  
compelled to discard any and all moral decency and participate in this  
disgusting trade.
