thats a great point GSP, and i think that a rise in prices would defiantly help.
like look at the amount of people who have gem tangs, compared to the amount of people with clownfish.
one thing is, THANK GOD FOR FRAGS. I swear calgary could run on frags alone if every hobbyist was on a forum or selling things to their LFS.
I myself find it kind of hard to talk about this stuff (or make up my mind really) because i work at a LFS, but i also want to be a marine biologist when i grow up. What would i do without any fish to study, and in a way it would be my fault if their weren't any fish.
One thing is latley i've realised a real increase in quality of shipping. Latley at the store we have not been have any DOAs or many deaths whatsoever, so thats good.
Basicaly, it all comes down to us. We are the ones creating demand for these fish, and we are the ones who should be saying "i think i'll stock this tank with 4 fish instead of 7" or
"i think i want captive bread fish"
I personally think that it's better to give only a few fish alot of elbow room, then alot of fish barley any room at all.
