It might be a joke but either way I sent the 'seller' a message telling him how ashamed he should be of himself. It was pointy-worded. That should teach him!

Sorry Brett should of restated that, which "moronic person" sold them those. If I ever release a fish into someone else's care the first thing I do is ensure that it is going to a good home. I see faults on both sides, the reason I was leaning towards the LFS is because of the pristine condition of the biocube and that it's on Kijiji and not canreef.

It looks like someone had an impulse buy, didn't do there research and now is trying to get out. Formalities aside anyone have room for these fish?

Levi, you seem not in a good mood today, huh ? :-) Well not all LFS selling the fish will ask what tank size you have :-), they prefer not too. I just surprise that these three fishes can still do well accordingly to the picture
Haha, Na just me being my overly opinionated self like usual . I'm surprised also that regal must be going crazy!

I hope someone in Calgary can save these fish and explain to this guy that he has made some poor decisions while stocking this tank.
I wonder how long all those fish have been in there together. My guess is a few days. Otherwise I think it would be more of a fish soup than a fish tank.

Were there pictures or something? I don't see a fish list or pictures, just info on the tank now. Guessing the ad has been edited...

There were pics but they seem to be gone. There was also a list of livestock.

I thought the picture was a photoshop when I first saw it but upon closer inspection I think it was real. The blue tang was huge, and looked pretty good considering the bioload in the tank.

Someone must have the pics in thier cache.
