100,000 tropical fish die in FL

[chrisngo]

Global warming or not. That's a lot of fish to lose. Personally, this whole global warming/cooling thing... if you look at it through geologic time scales you can see that what happens in 30 years on a geologic scale equates to almost nothing. Did that make sense???!!

Anyways, hope you FL people warm up soon. It's so odd to see cold weather that far south.

does anyone think this will at least temporarily spike the price of many species?

Most likely.

This cold weather has caused my toes to freeze. I can barely walk now.

that was my first thought too but I am not sure how much of an impact it had on tropical "pet store" fish. Does anyone know what kind of fish were lost?

GTFO cold weather.... I strongly dis-like you..... (and the annoying people above me who stomp and play jungle music loudly.)

Please re-locate me where it stays warmer all year, thank you.

This is a tragedy of the worst order for the US fish industry. If you are happy or ambivilant about it, go ahead and buy from Asia, if our Florida Farmers go out of business, you'll have no where else to buy fish. I know many of these families personally and they are producing fabulous fish for lower prices than anywhere else. And they don''t irradiate to sterilize, tattoo, dye or otherwise torture or bastardize our creatures. Or intentionally hybridize.
