yeah I know, I just got him, but I've decided he's already too big for an 80 gallon, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to upgrade.

To bad

I see you trying to get a L046 for it hehehe

 

[mike the zealot]

Yeah who knows? Would be cool.

If he doesn't sell by this weekend I'll be taking him to Portland to trade in at the wet spot. Who knows what crazy beautiful fish I can get from a big city LFS?

 

[Orion]

sorry hear you have to get rid of him. Beutiful fish.

the wet spot has a lot of really neat stuff, one of my favorite LFS...wish it was closer to me

 

[mike the zealot]

Well, it is closer to you...than it is to me =)

I have an idea for you if you ever visit Bend: check out Fish & Pets, then help me petition to have them shut down =D

I swear its like amazing for me to go to real fish stores in cities, to see people who actually know what the crap they're doing. Around here, it's sad to say, but Petco is your best bet. At least its clean and the fish guy knows whats up. The other two fish stores are total utter crap. Forget about diseased fish, you're likely to catch something yourself walking into these places.

At least I can always say I live 30 minutes from Dave Soares =P

great sports fish, tastes like poo, S.leichardti do you have those there, much nicer fish, the asians paay big big bucks for them a sign of wealth. seen some go for 30 -50 thousand

 

[mike the zealot]

You're probably thinking of high-end asian arowanas (Scleropages formosus) like gold cross-backs or chili reds. S. leichardti might go for a little more than jardinis, but not too much. I see jardinis go for like $350 for 14" in Oregon.

 

[azndeath]

-_-!

 

[LadySarah]

I hear your pain as far as good stores is concerned. I think that as far as all of Oregon goes we really have to travel to Portland to find anything really good. I only really shop at PetCo and PetsMart because of the lack of other choices. But luckily I am moving to the Portland area in three weeks so I will have a lot of other choices.

 

[azndeath]

Go to Family Pets near safeway and Target u cant miss it !

 

[iridescentkid]

[mike the zealot]
