For the record, I would feel justified to a certain extent using the more "dishonest" tactics at a corporate-owned torture giant, but NEVER at an honest, locally-owned store or "mom & pop shop". Again, to me it is merely poetic justice... treat your fish bad and sell them only because you can profit off their pain, and suffer losses. Open a fish shop because you love your fish and want to help and inform other fish lovers, your merch should be sacrosanct.

Call it karma.

I don't agree with the dishonest tactics, even if it's with dishonest chains like deathco.

This person is not as ethical as she appears to be on the whole. I had some dealings with her when I had not come to Fishlore.com yet. She is all about selling her fish and selling her miracle drugs to use on the fish and it is not much more than Malachite Green that she charges a fortune for and then wants you to pay a lot to buy a phone call from her so she can "Consult with you" about your bettas problems. Sorry... too commercial for me. If she was all that concerned about the bettas her advice would be like it is here... free of charge and she would not be a pay as you go operation.

Nope.. not the site for me.

Well for fear of being sued () I'll just say that as Rose said her stuff seems overpriced, and I've heard of people who didn't have the best experiences dealing with her.

Sorry, I kinda hijacked this thread.
