some new aquasitions

Emg · 12-15-2007, 04:27 PM

Stopped by my favorite lfs to drop off some halimeda and they had a pistol ! I've been waiting for one of those to show up for quite a while now...it was only 12$ so I told the fella I'd stop by to pick it up after doing the crazy shopping spree...

I also notice a very pretty little filtering crab in there as well. It wasn't marked on the glass of the tank...it looked to me to be a porcelein crab...and so it was !

The owner gave it to me for bringing in the macro ! (that's why I like this lfs so much !

)

The pistol's color is a bit washed out, but I imagine he'll brighten up after he gets into some decent water. The watchmen and he got aquainted immediatly after I put it in the tank ! I had to use the flash for this pic

The pistol has already brightened up some....he should be clicking away before too long...

Way cool. My pistol and goby are my star attractions, even though I don't see much of them.

Which store was this Emg? That halimeda sprig you gave me is going great guns, seems like I find a new sprout every day or two...would be cool if I could get credit for it someplace.

Great deal! Has the pistol started burrowing yet?

Emg · 12-17-2007, 02:57 PM

That would be Aquatic Wildlife Sploke. Generally I just give the halimeda to Derek .....otherwise I end up throwing it out. I figure if I do that often enough he'll be pretty generous with me in return...and he has been....like giving me that crab. I'm just sure to only buy stuff when Derek is there...hehe....

Zanz....he'd like to, but....I really don't have much for rubble in there. It's pretty much very fine sand. I've got to get something to put in there for him to build with...he seems sad..poor thing...just peddles away in the sand and digs himself a little ditch...

Yeah he's a decent guy...I buy fish there but thats pretty much it...some of his prices on equipment and coral are outrageous. Even some of the marine fish...I think it was 35-40 bucks for banggai cardinals one time? EACH? No thank you.

Emg · 12-18-2007, 04:46 PM

haha...yeah, I know...he is pretty pricey. I go to look and see what he has for the most part...just because I like to look.
