    Responsible aquarist vs responsible vendor

While it certainly falls back on the hobbyist to research what they purchase, where does the vendor's responsibility come in to play. Should a vendor sell butterfly fish that are obligate coralivores, yet say they...

    Are fireworks legal in your state?

    How many of you can buy all the good stuff? Here in PA it's very restricted, and the so called "legal fireworks" don't amount to much more than sparklers. That's not to say we don't get stuff and hope we don't get caught, but wondering who has restrictions and who can use whatever they want.
