Bye Bye to my Clown Loaches

[normc]

I took my large clown loaches into BA Innis to day They were getting a little big for my Discus tank and were eating my plants.

[beowulf]

Doh why did you not tell me I was looking for some!!!!

No worries wulfie, you know where they are at least.

I'm sure the discus will be much happier now normc, get them some nice rams to play with instead.

I know but I rather give my money to another member then the store.

Ah, but you see there, they already gave money to a member for them, so in an indirect fashion, you ARE buying them from a member.

As for that, a lot of local breeders sell their stock to the local fish stores, everybody gets what they want then.

[Mettle]

But you'll likely be paying more to Big Al's than they paid out for them. Otherwise it would be an odd business tactic on their side... Especially for large clown loaches which can be really expensive.

That would be why everybody wins, we need the local fish stores, and they have to make money to keep the shelves and tanks stocked with the stuff we rush in to purchase at a whim.

I don't win I lose

You don't lose you just win less.

[beowulf]

You don't lose you just win less.

LOL semantics!!!!  You lose also then because if I get those I won't be buying yours

Hello to my new clowns 

[babblefish1960]

Are they the one and the same in the very lament posed earlier by poor normc?

See,  now everyone is happy, including the loaches.

[normc]

Yes the same ones, I was working  and sold them to him. Made me very happy knowing they went to a good home and got to stay together. They have been together since they were babies.

[babblefish1960]

See! Happy, happy story, everybody is happy now, including the fish, that was a funny coincidence that you sold him the fish you sold and bagged them yet again. Good luck with norms babies wulfie, I'm sure they'll be treated like royalty.

The spent the early part of yesterday in hidding with my 5 loaches but around 10 last night they started coming out more and all the food I had left for them was pretty much gone.  They received some blood worms, large krill, piece of zucchini, swiss chard, and algea waffers.

[babblefish1960]

Wow, see you love them already, they eat better than some of us do I'm sure, good job, may you have many years of happiness with them. Just wait until you throw them into the 210 gallon tank, they are so going to love you for that.
