Aquatics Shop Advertising For Free Fish?

[finalfantay85]

Ah right ok. My local one is pretty good, not that i've needed to rehome any fish yet. Mind you how empty all the tanks were in both my LFS last Saturday i bet they would have accepted anything lol. They had ONE male swordtail outta the 2 types they keep and no mollies so all in all it was a bit of a wasted trip for my dad

I think the reason generally is that lfs will lose a lot of money giving out all this store credit, especially with the amount of livebearers and plecs i see come in! also the cost of having to look after a big plec or silver dollars, you cant always sell them on =[ we have about 20 common plecs, lots of big goldies, silver sharks and silver dollars that people cant keep and we cant get rid

I do think its wrong to ask for free fish in the first place to sell though :\

 

[finalfantay85]

That makes a lot of sense actually MewMew now you've pointed it out. I guess if someone wants to rehome a fish they can no longer care for and the LFS can easily sell it on then it benefits them. But they have a limited amount of space just like us, albeit on a much bigger scale, so they can't just keep accepting fish they can't rehome themselves

this is getting annoying now, taking up pver half the listings for the area. now he is listing them as for his own tank

How about make your own listing "DONT TRUST THAT SELLER" explaining to people who he is and what hes doing, may stop some other people giving this waster free fish

Doing it is one thing, but spamming and making an otherwise useful site useless isnt fair or clever.

Been on that site this morning to bump up my ads and read they are "for their own tank" ha ha ha, if that was the case why ask for small fish, discus and rays, hardly a suitable mix?

although they do claim to have a 6ft 7ft and 2 8ft tanks?

Well done Gill!!! although I am still trying to work out some of the reply lol, weird though if you look at all the other ads there is one with a link to Beg aquatics? funny the telephone number they are quoting is the same as the shop or is that his cousins yard lol

Complete Non Use of english Language.
I emailed him back copying all the listings from his profile. I asked him why all the contact details from beg aquatics match his and the email address he was replying from.

I, kinda, agree. but the shop/business should declare itself a business, not masquerade as a privet buyer. it shows a level of dishonesty that, should be illegal. just make sure you dont buy from them. and ensure, others, you know do likewise.

i tink id decoded it, it says : im a uneducated dum dum who thinks he can get away with bad grammar and an overuse of slang and shortenng terms, not to mention trick people to giving me fish.


this hill billy should have the guts to at least say its a fish store, and at least pay something for the fish.

Matter Has Been Resolved, All fish Donated are housed in the Stores Huge Display Tanks. As examples for max growth and also for the just because they have the room to house them.

I advised that this should be made more clear in his adds.
