Koi Dealer Etiquette

As a responsible hobbyist surely everyone should point out dead or sick fish? If the dealer couldn't give a toss when you tell then there are questions to be asked!

If the dealer doesn't mind a few floaters in his tanks, he probably won't mind if I just make good my escape from his shop either... In my book a dealer who doesn't care even when a potential customer points something like that out is someone I don't want to have any further contact with.

LOL, that was my laugh for the day Brett, thanks alot. Now you have to remember that you were too busy selling koi and making money at Nelson's that day to come by to get the yogurt. Had I not taken some they would have gone bad, besides I was not the only who took the yogurt. Ralph took some and so did others of MKK.

You know Duc will get you some more when he sees you again. You hear Duc?

Sorry Brett, they were all over it.

My cooler is always full on trips going down to Houston/Danbury. Yogurt on the way down, koi on the way back.
