After a second thought, I feel it's being very irresponsible of me to push away the question. Especially after realising that many bros in the buyer list are newbies. First of all, I'll like to appologise to bro YLD.

Why the bbr died? A very difficult question to be answered! The following are solely of my personal opinion and findings.

Fish on arrival are stressed due to travel and drastic changes of temperature during the journey. I believe those who've waited at LFS to have their 1st pick have witnessed that the fishes are always "stone" upon release. Another coz sud be the huge differences in our water. This symtoms usually remain on the 1st few days.

Quarantine: I believe most have read forum's post of bros having casualties during quarantine. I've even seen and heard of experienced keeper having the same fate.
Usually, the fish's cost is cheaper if the buyer choose to take the risk in quarantine. You might have heard shop owner telling you not to bargain on price bcoz he have to cover those that didn't make it!
As for newbies, this task is even more difficult. You can follow exactly what I've written earlier on quarantine. Do you know when the quarantine is over?
Can you tell if your fish is ok during quarantine? What you sud do if the fish is not ok?

I personally had a wipe out when I started the hobby due to quarantine.http://www.rafflesgold.com/forums/in...wtopic=991&hl=

I might sound contradicting at this point, but I feel it's only right for me to do so.

David Hou

Bro, since the risk is so high you should have hi-lighted it first before people (especially the newbies) started to book. This is not the first time I heard of this. Few months an importer had the whole stock wiped out and got were the $$$$.

How else can you have a chance to own a genuine Kashino for S$84/-. Even if one out of five bbr die, it will still be worth it.
