Like the kitchen gnomes that eat just the cookie dough out of my ice cream in the freezer! For years i thought it was the wife but she swears it isn't her! Must be gnomes 🤷‍♂️

@tharbin as a side note to this, last weekend I went to the Phoenix store because no one in town had BN Plecos. While I was there checking out (my wife got some plants because they had 0 BN Plecos also...) the guy goes "Oh! You're the Stratosphere guy!". Apparently every employee at all 3 Konas knows who I am... 😂

Yes but not if you have sand dweller/sleeper fish.
 
So; I mentioned quite a while ago that I had a problem with my Indo torches. Several of you generously offered to send me Cipro but I declined. I just didn't want to deal with the tank at the time. Anyway, the first thing I did after my procedure got bumped, again, was to order some Cipro from FishAid on 7/17. All seemed fine-ish. Got confirmation same day, got shipping notice on Monday 7/21. All was well although there is nothing left of the green tip Indo and not much left of the gold tip Indo. Also the trumpet is looking a little peaked. I just checked the status again and it still is not even at the USPS and the FishAid site is talking about shipping problems for around 7/11 and reships in August. A little 'fishy'.

Oh well.

This info is for you Tom and for all the Smorgasbord who may need it someday, near my house there is a pharmacy of which I have been a client for many years, if you need any medication, let me know, no prescription is needed, cash in hand and whatever you need, I bought 25 pills of ciprofloxacin, if you need I can send you the 20 that I have left, I'm not going to use them for now, send me your address and today or tomorrow I will send them to you by UPS

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 10 27.0%

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 6 16.2%

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 5 13.5%

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 10 27.0%

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 24.3%

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 6 16.2%

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 5.4%

  • I haven’t really considered this before

    Votes: 3 8.1%

  • Something else (see my comments in the thread)
