Looks like another tropical storm for us. It's ok though, we could use the cooler weather and rain for a few days.
I need a couple of tropical storms out here...
 
Amanda I hope you are better. I need to read and catch up. I am actually just at home to acclimate a fish I had figured I was not getting.

My husband ordered from Divers Den, Live Aquaria. I explained he should not expect it after everything I had seen posted about it since last fall. That was last week. Today a healthy 3 inch Pyramid Butterfly fish appeared after notice last night. I still didn't believe it until it showed up. Had to come down off the mountain as soon as I heard it arrived.

In quarantine tank now.

Interesting. I wonder if the new management is better than previous? I live in the desert and received an order of two "froze to death" fish in the middle of the summer. They took cold packs and placed the bags directly in contact with the cold packs - no insulation between the two. Water temperature was around 50° and it was 115° outside that afternoon. They were also only in a foil bag inside a box with shredded newspaper...
Popped over to check out the LA changes on website. Saw this on Divers Den. No matter who was selling this one I’d be freaky nervous until getting it

Thanks.

Great but I have ten small Lysmata boggessi coming from ORA tomorrow.

Any idea how much they were going for? Look to be good sized.
