I think that people like this should be tarred and feathered and strung
up by their (unmentionables)!!! Why has no one written any articles
exposing the scam this a**hole is playing on the fish-buying public?
Someone should get the facts and then desicrate him in FAMA or TFH or a
similar publication. This practice should be stopped. Are rainbowfish
going to become the next blood parrot cichlids? Are we going to let them?
There are some pretty "big" names in our group here. Maybe we should take
it upon ourselves to get this BS exposed for what it is. Yes. If need be
I will volunteer to write something, even if only for our local club. Who
else will join me?
