There is the possibility of a profit and just the experience would be quite rewarding.
Several people have stated that he/she should take it back to the LFS.
Do you honestly think that the lfs will give it the same amount of care and supervision that the current owner will?
I doubt it. They have other things to worry about, such as stocking, customers, etc.

While that may be true it is a little more easy to bring back an egg than a foot long baby godzilla!!! Because that is what is in the egg. You know that right. lol

Yes. I understand.
I just don't think that it is nessasarily fair for people to rip someone over something like that.
To me, the experience is the most rewarding part of saltwater with the beauty being a close second. :cheer:
I have surfed silently around these forums for awhile now, and it seems to me that some people get a lot of experience under their belt and then forget where they came from and what it was like starting out.
They seem very quick to judge, point fingers and overall belittle a person looking for simple help or positive critiqueing.
Just my opinion though.
And you know what they say about those.

Very good point.
I recently made that mistake with buying too many at once.
Needless to say, I learned that one quickly

The good thing is, I got that one out of the way.

The bad thing, lost alot of $$$$

Impulse buying is not good in this hobby for sure. I've almost bought several things at my lfs, but didn't....the reason i didn't was he has some books that he sells....i'll go look up whatever it is and then decide to get it or not.

Then again, most lfs will hold stuff for you.

they didn't give me a due date. i have done some research and i found that it takes about 12 weeks. the fish store had it for 3 weeks and have had it for 3 and it was about 3-4 week old when they got it so it should not be long
