Ok guys yall are getting a little hostile.

The reason (for those who dont know or understand whats going on) that we dont as a rule return animals from our tanks to the wild is typically because our other fish, the ones not from Galveston, come in with things we cant take out like infections, bacteria and diseases that are local to the indo pacific etc and NOT Galveston. If you release native animals back to Galveston after having been in your tank the diseases can live here and spread killing thousands of other fish who have never been in contact with this illness before.

Soymilk's statement about it being better to kill it rather than return it is, imo, the responsible one. Besides these are fish caught and eaten for food, this isnt a fish that could be considered endangered.

I thought MARSH was about conservation? Not taking animals that have miles and miles to roam so that we can put them in our 100 gallon tanks? Interesting
Whew, I barely got to read this before I went to my weekly PETA meeting and carried my red paint to the mall for those people wearing fur coats. After that y'all are welcome to join me while a chain myself to a tree while wearing my hemp bandanna and eating my organic food. (sorry, I couldn't help myself)

I said nothing about a $30 membership making anyone else or my opinion more creditable...your fault for assuming. Obviously if you were a paid member then you would know what I was talking about, but seeing as you're not....you have no clue.

Thank you though for your reply.

Fred also likes long walks on the beach, candle light dinner, and sitting with his companion listening to 80s Rock Ballads.
