Last week I got a pair of Purple firefish and a yellow tang (R390:yeahdude from this MAC shipment that came in, and I can honestly say that there was a big differance in the condition of the livestock upon arrival. The fish were eating well 2 hours after introduction, you can see they are very active and I believe their was a big differance in welfare of the LS. Bags were well packed, after arriving in Durban the parcel still had to travel by road to RBAY, so I guess they were in the bag for another 14 hours. Water was still cool, and appreantly fish are not sold unless they are eating 100%.
I think all of us as responsible reefers should now insist on only buying MAC approved stock, it us reefers who are fuelling the cynanide and chemicals on the reefs as well, and we are responsible for what we do as end users. MAC livestock is all certified net caught, and I promise you now that I will not buy anything else for my tank, unless it is MAC approved, or propogated/cultivated in a tank. The reefs are now in our hands
