Did you dump that store water in your tank?  Beautiful tank but you are delaying the inevitable if you keep doing that.

Classic example of not researching before purchasing. Hopefully that poor fish didnt die immediately. Furthermore what is the deal with getting all up in the fish's faces and tapping the glass especially right after introducing a fish? lack of responsible reef keeping.

@xDetroitMetalx This tank is anything BUT responsible....I know some of the fish are gathered with toxics. Even when i got a small ocellaris while i still had a big t. perc and when they started fighting i was able to get them to calm down. THis guy's an idiot putting that fish straight in.

@lazarolechon1, how is this example responsible? I get what you're saying but I've also never been fond of how these fish are gathered. Although I'm hobbyist a myself with a very small tank and a small collection.

@1969LEO1969 "trying" to get into the hobby isn't done by throwing a semi-costly fish into a tank full of aggressive tank mates. Get some facts before blindly failing at trolling people. Idiot.

@xDetroitMetalx Responsible reef keeping isn't cruelty. IN the wild fish have to find their own food and terrritory. a good tank provides that for them.

@s13redline Give him a break ... iv seen worse introductions.

[FretFreak13]

noooo clown! lol

Just wondering, is your tank covered? If the rest of his tank mates harass him that much still, I'd highly suggest it.

[xDetroitMetalx]

It's his money and his tank. If he wants to listen to the LFS staff or just buy on reflex let him. Keeping saltwater fish in general is animal cruelty as most of them are captured straight out of the wild. I'm pretty sure it's called a "hobby" for a reason, hypocrite.

[1969LEO1969]

Holy crap!! I forgot how many pretentious know it all ass holes there are on the internet. Its his tank he gets to do what he wants. Guess what! You have to deal with it. Go use your time doing something useful instead of flaming people trying to get in the hobby.

[cjleech123789]

maybe turn the light of you know? maybe not be a divy and don't tap on the glass? you know leave the fish to settle without seeing ur face? maybe read some knda book on how not be an arse to your fish you know maybe or not whatever your choice?
