This is really getting out of hand and out of control.
I read or saw somewhere a portrayal of certain reef fishes adaptions. Their ability to survive out of water for extended periods was noted. Think of how fast the tide can rush out on a reef. At least the tang is OK and the burglar also didn’t destroy the fresh water tank.
the lowest form of scum… thieves
This is a sad story. My father grew up in Fall River and I spent much of my childhood there. It can be a tough area to live because of how industrialized it has always been. I’ve heard some bad stories about the area, but nothing ever like this. How much can you really expect to gain by doing something like this? definitely makes me think it had to be retribution against the owner because how much money is really in reptile kits and a pet store register? Two weeks from now, I’m heading back to Mass to visit the family. I’m gunna make a point to swing by the place and give my condolences. And of course to meet the famous ‘Big Blue’ haha.
