I go to Tropical Imports fairly frequently. Closest LFS to me. Haven't bought any livestock, other than a couple snails. Bought pods, foods, additives there.

It's ok.

Excellent. Personally I think thieves should be branded with a cattle prod permanently but sadly our justice system doesn't work that way. Or off with the hand hehe

Glad to see a thief got caught.

I've been there a couple of times. I'll agree it's okay. They've had commercials on LA Reef Guy's YouTube videos before. They have illegal macros on their website pictures....

They seem to move a lot of fish there.

100$ blue tang. Dang.

Right? :lolspin:

 

[leveldrummer]

how do you steal a fish? it would look strange walking out with wet pockets.

Ive heard of people using a large drink cup. but still, seems like hard way to make a buck.

I been there everything is over priced... probably it was a yellow belly blue tang he stole they sell them at that price there

 

[Dendro Dude]

Wow lol

How in the world did he catch a blue tang fast enough?

$40 for a purcula clownfish and $100 for a blue tang? Looks like I won't be shopping at that store lol

Just because its written in an article doesn't make it true haha I mean come on its not like journalists always get there facts straight. Or they don't embellish the facts to make the story better... nah that never happens.

How the heck did he just catch the fish and walk out with them?

Right? If you can catch a fish with your bare hands, they should just let you keep it. :dance:

 

[Allmost]

how small is this store for the employee to just notice a fish missing ?

Pretty sure you'll get to keep the stitches too trying to catch a tang with your bare hands...

It's about average size. Most of their saltwater stuff is in a back room, though, and they usually keep their back door open, for air flow, I assume. I imagine he grabbed it and ran out the back door...

I've been sitting here with a trap for 5 days and you're telling me this dude can catch a tang in 5 seconds??? What's his phone number??
