I say to give them a call, explain the situation, and see if they'll work out a deal if you wait.
That is an excellent point Chris. I'd call, see if they can hold the two that are ready if you pay for those. Then have them all shipped once the other three have been QT'D.

Beer 6 is more like it lol !! 😂
Yes ma'am. You can even see evidence in my tank photo I posted. There is an Oberon sitting on the tank stand!
I also noticed, the duster on the bench and the dirt devil power broom sitting in view. At least you know I was cleaning... well, and drinking.... well.. and fixing my lights.

Yes unfortunately. It's supposed to warm up in a couple days though *fingers crossed*
I'd love to be in Florida or somewhere with my toes in the sand right about now.

They look like such fun little guys to be around!!!
These two guys are a hoot! They'll keep you on your toes with those imaginations. All I want to do is get off work, grab my outside clothes and see what they want to get into!

I need to get that Hatcher for the baby brine ? I like the one that Amanda has .
Both will give you tons of brine shrimp! I stuck with the brs hatchery because it doesn't require any plugs or make any noise lol

When I was working in my tank today I heard something hitting the glass and looked down and my larger conch was pushing my smaller one but the smaller one wasn't giving up to easy and the kept hitting shells which was the sound I heard.
Pushing huh?
Fighting you say?
