00W's AIO Smorgasbord

and it says they do best in groups!

Maybe in really large groups where the aggression can be spread out.

My son had 3 Bangai in his tank. One took out one of the other and the began on the other. He threw the one being beat up into his sump and after a few months after I got my tank set up he put it in my display.

I put two very tiny Bangaii in our Aiptasia tank. I mean tiny, their bodies were smaller than a dime. They were great for a few weeks and then the slightly larger one took out the smaller one with extreme prejudice. I got ticked off and wasn't about to feed the tank for one stupid fish so I netted it and tossed it in the display with the big boys. They completely ignore it and it grew; fast, real fast. It now likes to take mysis showers. When we add some mysis to the tank it dives right into the middle of the incoming stream and all the other fish somehow act like it isn't even there. It is an easy add to a tank because it is kind of like a hobo at the Met Gala, the other fish just pretend they don't see it. I don't think I would add two or three though. I think you either need one or a bunch.

So I have a non-reef-related question, especially for those from the eastern PA or NJ area.

When I was a younger, knee high to a Walt Disney acro frag, whenever we went to Philly (and later Cherry Hill) we would stop at a pretzel factory and buy boxes of uncooked soft pretzels. I remember they were largish white boxes that each contained, I think it was 24 uncooked Philly-style soft pretzels. Once we were back in Ohio, we would cook up a couple dozen and freeze the rest. Every once in a while, alright, pretty often, I get a taste for those pretzels. I think I've had just about every chain soft pretzel and lots of others since then but none of them are the Philly-style and not nearly as good.

I've got the urge for one again, big time. I've gone online and I have found a few places that ship pre-cooked Philly-style soft pretzels but the ones that are serious about selling a good pretzel only ship UPS one day or two day air to anyplace west of the Rockies. I fuss and fluster big time over paying first-class air to ship a couple berghia or coral but for a $2.00 pretzel? Not happening.

Okay finally the question does anyone know of a company that sells frozen uncooked Philly-style soft pretzels?

I know there are recipes, not going there.

This is definitely an @OrchidMiss question... Philly, Cherry Hill ...

Tell that to the one in my son’s display!

such the marrying type!

If it makes you feel any better we got 0" and we're also still in severe drought?

so you have "plenty" of time to build an Ark.

More than plenty I'd say.

I have two but I would happily buy more if it would make it rain. Lol maybe I should wash my car, it always seems to rain after I do that...

Yes, wash the car does have that affect.

I have an umbrella showing up in the mail today!

Hopefully you get to use it.

 

[code4]

Thanks, didn't mean to complain really. I'm glad yhey gave my son medicine. Also I'm hoping they will figure something out vis-a-vis my sinuses, I've been dealing with that for a long time.

That's not complaining. Wishing you all well.

@Calmwaters Glad your sleep is improving as your pain is leaving.

stopped at Petco today for some food. Saw a nice fat Coral Beauty there. almost 3". it was really tempting. first time I saw what looked like black and white Pajamas too. usually they're colored. unless those are something else?

OK, I looked it up. They are Bangai cardinals vs Pajama.

Go back and get it!

One or none for me.

Husband was busy this winter. Bought some patterns. Then made a few birdhouses. Now he put them up.

"A few" may be a bit of an overstatement?

Those look great!

He can't count! He donated one for a cancer benefit. They sold it for $275. For Christmas this year I got a small branding iron with his name. It is for branding his wood creations.

 

[code4]

Here it is. Glad he liked it. I did say no to branding me though. Silly man.
