hmm more dead Idols... Nice to see we place our own satisfaction above the life of the animals in our care..


These fish belong in the Ocean.. SamW's was an exception.. Don't count it as the norm..

ie.. let them die in the stores tank. So they won't bring anymore in. Tho I guarantee someone not knowing will buy them. Or someone knowing will buy them and think they are above the inevitable.
