Funny enough, I have done that before. I ran out of hot dog buns, so I threw a hot dog inside a tortilla. Needless to say, it wasn't good.

Respect for giving a Tortilladog a shot. I've never but would if I had to, too.

A tortilla is just flat bread basically so just squish your hotdog bun and your good!

Good morning Tim! <tips hat>

I had a $200 gift certificate from Live Aquaria so I ordered two small (1"-2") Halichoeres Chyrsus. I ordered two just because I've heard horror stories about Live Aquaria. I was just going to use the gift certificate for dry goods, but then I saw the Yellow Coris were on sale. I think the delivery date is Friday. They haven't sent shipping info yet.

LiveAquaria is horrible at shipping live/frozen goods. The last fish I received were in 50° water in the middle of summer. They put an ice pack directly touching the bags. Both were dead and already brown water.

Hopefully they come through on time, I'm not brave enough to use them after all the fiasco. Last few complaints I saw was how bad the packaging was.

They use those insulated bag liners (good for about an hour) and newspaper.

Ahhh, Georgia weather, where you have to dress in a way to shed clothes as the day gets warmer and warmer.

That's how we dress in Arizona minus th "shed clothes" because we don't want to go to jail...

Ya I think they have completely given up on everything.

It's a glorified Pig in a Blanket just less croissanty.

I've known of LiveAquaria for maybe 15+ years but have never ordered from them, all I knew of them was you were guaranteed a fish with some kind of disease at least that was the belief I had heard.

And then they got bought by a different company and lost all care and customer service.

Back when it was Drs Foster and Smith they were great. Then Petco had some relationship with them and they were decent. I haven't had a single order come that was correct. I only ordered the two fish, both were DOA. @Stang67 ordered a bunch of frozen food from LiveAquaria that came thawed and gross if I remember correctly.

Ah, Dr. Foster and Smith brings back memories... I only ever used LA to read up on fish before buying at the LFS lol but I'd assume a lot of people did the same, the info was well organized. I'm not sure how far back they operated though, I remember placing orders through a magazine with Dr. Foster.

For frozen food, I've had a good experience with SaltwaterAquarium.com past 3 orders have arrived completely frozen since they shipped using dry ice.

Welp, it's water change day, I better get to work!

Water change day for me too, except it's with my refrigerator's water filter. I guess that is the same thing

We will see. It was a gift certificate... so... no money out of my pocket, but the welfare of the fish concerns me.

Good morning y'all and Happy Taco Tuesday! May your taco Tuesday harvest be bountiful!

Good morning Steven
