Ummm, I corrected myself, read the whole thread.

And I didn't say boycot the store.

But just because wholesalers have it for sale, doesn't mean that stores should choose to bring it in!!!!

I will definately be biased against a store that chooses to bring in animals such as these, compared to stores that choose not to bring them in, whether they are available or not!

And its not like a wholesaler has a partial box to fill, and chooses to send a reef shark as "filler" for an order.

Hopefully this reef shark was destined for someone as a special order, and they backed out and the vendor is stuck with this animal.

Boycotting comment was directed at Fishfanatic not you personally,i just dont see the problem with bringing in these type of fish if in fact as you stated it is a special order or that store has a customer base with a larger tanks,which chould lead to a sale,there are many more freshwater fish sold by the thausands everyday in just about every store around the world that grow to sizes that dwarf many a home aquarium and sell for under $100.00,which i feel is a real shame,i figure if a person is willing to drop a grand on a shark there is a high probabilty that they might be informed,one would hope .
