Dearth... We have the same opinion!!! I could never understand the concept of spending my hard earned cash on drugs and alcohol. Leaves me with more cash to spend on my tanks!

I never understood the need to drink or do drugs and I never understood why people feel the need to get rip roaring drunk at an airport or on a plane. IMO it's a childish thing to get drunk or stoned. But then that's my opinion
Don't get me wrong, I am not afraid of heights, nor of flying.
But I have been beside someone on an airplane that was scared $$tless.
Its possible that the person you saw inebriated so early in the morning, just couldn't fly any other way.
And I am not condoning his choice of lifestyle.

Been bugging my LFS to bring me in a pair of blue throat triggers for months now.
Hey Bill your fish are here come pick up.
Sweet!
I arrive at store and of course they're struck with ick.
That'll be $403.20 including tax.
I said that its sad that those 2 fish will live their life and die in that $hitty setup as there isn't anyone that'll pay that price. Beautiful pair and Im sickened over this. I got him down to $300. I'm going be thinking about about this for the next two weeks over bottles upon bottles of cervecas and barrels of tequila. Maybe if the ick has cleared up when I get back I may have a couple of way overpriced fish in my tank.

I'm a bad reefer. 15yrs in and have never quarantined and not about to start.
It's the price that bothers me. They're $80 fish

yea that price does suck , but i would assume 90% of fish in fish stores are carrying something and its worth spending 100$ to get a QT set up and start QT new fish, get the LFS to knock 150$ off and QT them yourself google a practice that works for you tank transfer Copper or Hypo and save the fish

Coming back later when the ich is gone doesn't solve anything as the ich just isn't visible

dont feel you have to buy them rather see them passed up then wrecking a Main DT or bringing in ich and killing your own fish

Random thought... but I hate it when you're buying or selling something and people don't communicate like human beings.

It's really not that hard.
