yeah, that makes a lot of sense about shipping in bulk and being more profitable despite the dead loss. that really sucks, though. the company is always talking about the animals coming first, but at least with aquatics, that is not always the case.
what is funny is that i do not give a crap about making money for the store. i only want to give what i think is good advice. i really enjoy talking about fish with customers, telling them about cycling, etc. some of them actually listen.
There are good people!
This site is full of them.
And the occasional "spammer" can get under anyones skin(as with belligerent customers) and seemingly overpower the good.
Doing the right thing is always #1(no if ands or buts).
I can't speak to animals first ,
we all need to remember that many of these fish are produced just for sale.(by people)
They are not taken from the wild and people get paid to do this.....
JOBS!
I am not happy with any loss,
but put this thought(a notion and belief) in your mind;
That if we just put back more then we take,we are not the problem.
This drives me to breed fish!
Things go wrong all the time,it is what you do about it that matters.
If you can not convince someone to follow proper procedure it is no fault of yours.
TRUE COLORS SHINE THE BRIGHTEST!
I do appreciate your quest!
Don't let them get you down.
FYI it is all about the money.
Nobody trades gold stars in for food!
Balance and (proper) persuasion.
then you can rule!!!
