Is that a white bellied caique Mike? Right colors but mine had a yellow and orange head.
 
He is a pineapple conure, I have had him since he was 3 months old, he is now 6. He is attached to my hip, knows his colors, speaks English and is the best! He is super smart.
Disregard previous post, answered.
 
Good morning Peeps! Big day, heading to Lear today with my son and my wife (?). I invited my wife yesterday and as I expected she said no but before bed she asked if I was serious about asking her to join us and I said absolutely. So she said she would go. We’ll see , I already see a laundry basket sitting out overflowing with clothes. I look forward to seeing @Stang67 , Becky generously offered to bring frags for my son and I.

Good morning my friend, cheers, yesterday I got home around 10 pm, took a shower and went straight to bed because I'm working again today. I hope you have a great day and we look forward to seeing some photos.
 
Just found my beautiful pearly jawfish dead in one of my wavemakers. It didn't seem to be doing too well yesterday and seemed really stressed out staying in a corner breathing hard once I let it loose in the tank from the store. Sadly they do not offer any guarantee on saltwater fish. The sixline at least I think is doing well it stayed hidden for a good while but it did come out at feeding time.

Hope everyone has a good morning!

Will they order for you? I have my lfs order for me. It arrives on Tuesdays and I pick it up on Saturdays. I have them toss a little food in and after the fish eats I have them bag it up. I think 3 people asked to buy the eilbi angel ( my favorite angel next to Luis) and they had to decline because it was ordered for me.

When they order for me they just keep it in the bag until I go pick it up after work.
 
@That Crusso Kid , you made a post in the "keep one/change one" thread, with the link to the Beatles song. I have been trying for years to remember the name to a park i went to as a kid in South Carolina. It popped into my head when i seen your link. They played that Beatles song and Wet Willie's Keep on Smiling, all the time. Brings back some very good memories in my life. The park is still there, says temporarily closed, probably due to cold weather.

Yep and yep. I had 2 shipped at different times with no issues. My advice is handle them as little as you can and try to blow off some of the excess slime they produce.
It's best if you can put them somewhere and leave them there. If they get aggravated, they produce large webs of it and it irritates acros and such.

other than that, they're excellent corals. 100% recommend.
