Morning all!

Good morning Tom!

 

[Rocks reef]

Your turning into Keith!

Hey now!

 

[kingranch2003]

Just saw that. Is this the theme for afterwork tonight?

You better believe it Paul!

 

[Rocks reef]

Ill take it! He always brings the fun. Lol

Brother, I try. Life doesn't always have to be so serious.

 

[kingranch2003]

Hey now!

I took it as a compliment.

 

[Rocks reef]

What's up Keith!? How goes it brother?

Blessed my friend. Surrounded by my Smorg family, a beautiful and loving wife, roof over my head, food in my fridge. I'm blessed

I am at a loss of words... wow

That's a great list of Blessings my friend. The man that recognizes his Blessings, deserves them!

I know you did brother! I'm glad! You could have said.. oh heck no and logged off forever...

I had a Veteran ask me if I was rich. I said yes, rich in life. He looked at me funny... I said there are two kinds of rich sir... I don't need money to be rich.

Yeah, reading that he died... I felt a punch in my heart. One of the greats.

Not even a slight chance!

Where are you getting these from brother? I had a ruby longi fin and a Lubbock's Fairy. They were my favorite fish ever, by far. The tank is nowhere near the same since most of my fish just randomly dropped dead. They added so much life to the tank.

Well…in 20 years of reefing I can say that I’ve never bought a fish from Petco.

Was reading about buying from Petco online because it comes directly from the wholesaler…so decided to give it a chance.

They only shipped 5 of the 6 fish. Two were DOA on arrival, one is swimming like it has a swim badder issue and I don’t think it’s gonna make it.

We’ll see about the other two.

Note to self, won’t be trying this experiment again.

They did refund the money for the DOAs no questions asked or photos required, so that’s a positive I guess.

I wish I had a decent LFS in my area. So much easier to go see the fish in person and make a judgement call on purchasing.

Andre that's a rough one brother. I sincerely hate to hear this. You did nothing wrong by ordering from PETCO. They did wrong by not fulfilling their end of the deal. I hope these 3 survivors make it buddy.

Thanks buddy. I hate this kind of stuff because I know if I get a healthy fish I can give it a good home where it will probably live longer than it would in the wild.

Not sure what wholesaler these came from…they do a good job of omitting any of that info on the box or the paperwork.

And....here comes Kevin! Love it man!

I work with this Physician Assistant and he ONLY orders his stuff from Petco... fish... corals... he got this AWESOME green carpet anemone for $49.99... free shipping to his house. He swears by them... not sure why.
