Its a sad all the fish that died. To be honest I have felt most saltwater fish that ended up there received a death sentance anyway. I stopped buying fish there many years ago when 2 fish I bought were there dead by the time i drove home(15 min) and they would not stand behind them.
It sounds like they either had inadiquite or improper insurance. Thats on them.
i have the opposite experience of you. the fish i got there always did well. still have one til this day. my fav fish store by far in la/oc. there stuff was more expensive but whenever i was there people were buying. they always had the best selection of fish as well.
always had to drop by whenever i was around just to take a look. more often than not i wouldn't buy anything though because prices were higher. also, fish were always fine , no signs of disease like others would post.
i personally feel these guys were hated on for whatever reason. my personal opinion, my experience. these guys were around for a while.
i read the gofundme. it looks weird because it's asking for donations in the hopes of one day opening.....hopefully. makes it sound like it's asking money for the family to survive on a day to day basis though. that was my take on it from a quick skim.
my personal opinion.
