Great Video!


Recommended Posts

I came cross this video on what the fish go through to get to us, the hobbyist, and thought I'd share it. It is very interesting and disturbing at the same time. It makes me sad on some parts. Seeing the thousand of fish in bags gives you a good overview of how many fish are plucked from the sea. I have mixed feeling on this part. What are your feeling on this video?

This has always bothered me and there was a time i thought about getting out of the hobby because of some of the practices in collection.   How many times per week is this done?  Looking back I know i lost fish in the late 70’s to cyanide poisening.  Today most of those practices are obsolete. (We hope)   I have always wondered the mortality rate for species shipped?  Some of those bags had limited water in them and sure it is to lower shipping fees.  It’s a good practice to support those that are active in propagation of corals and tank raised fish.  It may be all we have in the very near future.
