My kole tang of nearly 7 years past away and have decided to replace him with a foxface rabbitfish to help control algae. One of my LFS in the area has saltwater sales everyweek and included a one spot foxface for $20 normally $40 I jumped on it and bought one. I've bought other fish there before but not often since my fish last years. The foxfaces all were very skinny but eating still seemed little fishy to me but took the chance. First day introduced he was eating, good color and acted normal for a week then found him dead in the morning. Most of my fish that die don't pass very quickly but these guys did. Couple weeks later another LFS had same fish and they too look skinny but eating. Guy was like can't discount him have to get $40 bucks. I was anxious to try again so bought him not until I first asked if the fish he sells are not caught with cyanide hes like ohhhhh no not my fish. That fish lasted almost three weeks and in the same way ate, good color and swam normally up until the last day he died suddenly. What can I do to buy fish that aren't poisoned how do you tell? Is buying them online a better way? Well dumping money for a fish that just going to die like that seems dishonest certainly isn't going to work.
