RE: Texas Tropical...UGHHH!!!
Having spent some time - albiet MANY years ago - working for a LFS, I can echo what is said above.
I wouldn't expect my LFS to pay me for a fish I brought in. If they wanted to give me something in trade, that would be cool, but I certainly wouldn't expect it. That is UNLESS you are breeding for profit. That's a whole 'nother story. But usually, I'm just looking for a "home". Better than flushing.
Nets should ALWAYS go into a solution. It's kind of like the windshield washer water at the gas station - ugh.
Now, personally, TT is not near the top of my choices.
