Hi all!! Here's a few photos of the fish room!! It has 30+ tanks housing a huge assortment of fish that have all been rescued!! What do I mean by rescue?? Its when people don't want their fish anymore but don't know what to do with them :( That's where we (myself and friends/volunteers) come in, break down the tank, put the fish in buckets and take it all away to the fish room!! All donations like fish, tanks, filters, bubblers, decora and more get cleaned up or thrown away if too bad/unusable (fish thru medical quarantine), and then rehomed for 30% of what the bigwigs ask. Everything rescued goes back to the fish in one way or another. My Goal is to help all fish in need of new homes as I temporarily take them in and try to find them new forever homes!! Thanks for taking time out of your day to read this!!

As a veteran of the tropical fish business, I have heard that story probably as many times as you have. LOL It's actually sad imo that there are people still in the biz that do that to poor unsuspecting people. :( Not that I haven't been guilty of it myself, unintentionally, with a marine fish. The wholesaler got these cute little groupers (2"-3") in and they were cheap so I got a few since I had customers with some large tanks for groupers. The wholesaler said they remained small"ish" so I told the customers the same thing " as my supplier told me..." They were called Bumblebee Groupers ,pomacrops lancelatus ( it's been reclassified to Epinephelus lanceolatus since then) . Here's the fact sheet on them: Queensland Groper, Epinephelus lanceolatus (Bloch, 1790) 😲
