Troy, I never said J&L isn't a great store.... I don't know why you think that I did say that but I didn't. I still shop there. BUT it isn't the only fish store in the Burnaby area. There is also perky's pets in new west, I bought a nice Frontosa Mpimbwe there. I also bought some nice daffodil brichardi there. I've never bought marine fish from them so I can't comment on their fish or inverts but I did have good luck with the freshwater stuff.

As far as copper goes, Cu is useless to almost everything except inverts at a less than medicinal dosage from my understanding. Why these places use copper in their system is beyond me, from what I understand they may as well be using antibiotics for a short period of time. I think it does nothing good for the fish, and in the long run it MAY (notice I didn't does) contribute to harder to treat parasites/protazoa's and other nasties.

Thats just my opinion, if you don't like my opinion why not ban me from posting, if not why not give it a rest.

Steve, the algonquin was still on the East coast when I got out of the Navy, so we never had any of that rebelious east coast influence...

Once though on Armed forces day, we had all our families on the ship and we went out for a cruise. Some yahoo's wife brought one of those pocket dogs on the ship and when we went to do a drill the dog got scared from the alarm, jumped out of her coat, hit the deck.. then a few seconds later went splash... We actually did a man overboard to get the dog... The XO went over the mic, Dog overboard Dog overboard port side, ships diver and boat crews to stations... lol

I was on the Yukon and before that the Columbia, both of which are now artificial reefs. I've been able to dive on both while teaching advanced deep diving courses and I did a penetration while on a technical course through International Nitrox and Technical Divers, it was very strange moving down burma flats...

Rookies, I was on the New Glasgow. She was probably turned into Japanese razor blades before your ships were built.

When I say I've never had a fish die I bought from King Ed thats not entirely true, eventually they die after a couple years depending on the fish...


I think they should live a minimum of 12 -14 (could be 50 for a tang) based on my mentors, however I am rethinking that and expecting longer now, since my oldest are the four years old that they have lived here (tangs mostly)....

And, I guess as a footnote here, what I really want to say, is......take a really good look at the way you care for your fish, before blaming a LFS for their demise.
