Importance of the Invoice
Would you buy fish from a store that won't show you their invoice?

I think I'd be inclined to believe the owner if he told be the source, unless I had some evidence to the contrary.

If I didn't think the store was trustworthy in the first place, I wouldn't buy fish there.

We have the right to know the country of origin of the fish we are spending good money on to ensure that we are not buying cyanide fish.
If we ask the online/LFS and they refuse any reasonable person would come to the assumation that the fish are from the Phillipinnes or Indonesia. |

I'm with Brad. What's my business is my business and you have the right to be told to get lost by every LFS.
If you are really worried where the fish came from, I would suggest you keep a Red Sea tank. |
Has anyone ever SEEN a single invoice?? I'd be interested to know how many of us have ever asked this question at an LFS:
"Can you tell me where this fish was collected?" I haven't once... |
I agree with Brad regarding the right to confidendiality regarding business documents. But Brad, I strongly disagree with the statement that the whole subject is the most ridiculous comment made on these boards...
I haven't been around here long but the list of ridiculous comments is constantly growing. Some of them are mine...doh! :wink: :) |

There is obvious misunderstanding from my post so let me clarify it.
Here is what I am saying. If we are buying a tang, angel or trigger which are species known to be from the Phillippines and Indonesia we should be asking the following. 1. What is the country of origin of that tang or angel or trigger. If the answer is Fiji and we trust the LFS or online store. We can walk out with our treasure knowing we do not have a cyanide fish. If for any reason we suspect that it is not Fiji (Reef Raf said the box had the Phillippines written on it as an example) or they say they don't know we should ask to see the evidence of the origin of the fish. If the LFS refuses we can assume that it is from the Phillippines or Indonesia. This is not a business confidentiality issue at all. This is the issue for all reefers. Cyanide not only kills fish it destroys the reef. Do you want to be part of a hobby that is responsible for this? |
