Ok, well this will benefit people with freshwater critters like me and people with agressive fish like..well..people with agressive fish, i don't know any here.
Anyway, lets say you wanna get your octopus crawdads cause you can't afford to buy emerald crabs every feeding (yes i know it's not as good). But, a mod will attack at anyone who tries to sell or buy FW stuff here. But, it is FOR a SW fish.
So, don't you think that, if it's a feeder, it should be allowed?
Lets say i wanna sell some guppies or mollies. But, i havent transfered them to saltwater yet. There going to end up saltwater most likely, but there freshwater RIGHT NOW.
Don't you think whoever should be able to sell those mollies or guppies?

Another Petition
[hr]
I run a small business, run by me, everything is at my house, no one else breeds anything that i sell, no one helps collect anything i sell. It's basically me selling it through a website with a name.
Because of this, i can't use the live selling section. Does this sound fair?
It sure doesn't to me. It would be different if someone from an actual business with employees came, posted a link to the website, and was trying to sell there companies livestock. THAT is different.
But just cause a 15 year old kid decided to start a small business he can't sell ANYTHING on this forum.
Another good point:
EVERYONE in live selling section is a 'competitor'. Whether they have a business or not, if there selling a snowflake eel and someone buys it, then they may have just taken away from SWF.com's sale. EVERYONE selling stuff there is a competitor technically. So what is different then me trying to sell something as zeke92, not my business?
I rest both my cases. Please read both petitions thoroughly BEFORE replying. Flaming, well, just don't.
If you can't afford the proper food for your animal you shouldn't own it in the first place. Freshwater foods are not fit for saltwater fish to eat (PROVEN FACT, not anecdotal) and selling them as being such is not good policy. People depend on their fish stores to supply them with good information and proper supplies for their animals. FYI - Fiddler crabs are a healthier meal than crawdads and just as cheap.
And as other people have said, you're not a partner with SWF.com so you have no business trying to scoop business up from them on their own website. That's basically soliciting business cards for your business in someone elses place of business which would get you either A) escorted from the building by a manager or B) escorted from the building by a police officer.
