i think itll be nice if swf.com gets more sharks and rays, then newbies wont be continually saying "i only posted the link 5 times becuz swf.com doesnt carry sharks or rays"

Even if a tank requirements was listed people would still buy it. look at yellow tangs. People have em in 29's.

Most people are responsible. Its the fact that they have their mind set on it and noone can stop them. Theres been quite a few people like that here. Im sure alot more out there. I just think that people should get to know whats right and wrong no go for what they think it best. I always wanted a tang and was told they were ok for my 29. Before I bought one I came here and noticed that it wouldnt work out. I thought for the fish's life not for my own satisfaction.

I really think somebody from SWF should redo all the fish Bio's and list some more information. As some said alot of people do buy on implulse. Minimum tank size should be listed with every marine animal on its info page. Some of the fish have no information whatsoever, why is that?

The store has provided a forum that is widely used by thousands of members and guests, including buyers, to ask and receive info. The web is also available with info, and most hobbyists will certainly do some homework before purchasing such an animal.

yeah - happy day.
Hopefully(at least I hope) - the following species will be coming soon -
Sharks - Brown banded Bamboo, White-spotted Bamboos, Gray Bamboos, Coral Catsharks, Epaulettes, Horn Sharks.
Rays - California Stingray,Cortez Stingray, and Bulls-eye Stingrays.
All of these are good "aquarium friendly" species, For customers with tanks/ponds of 300 to 1,000 gallons.
