Flag Fish...

Post by DonkeyFish »

So I have a pack of these guys (Jordanella floridae "American Flag Fish") I picked up when I had a wicked hair algae issue but now they're just schooling around getting fat on regular foods. Was wondering if anyone would be interested in a "rental program", you borrow the cleaning crew until you're issues are resolved and then pass them along to the next person (or me if I need 'em back)? Might sound odd, but these guys are tough, kinda hard to find, and do their jobs well. I have 4 that school around in my 40gal and are each about 2". They are fat, happy, and colored up gorgeously. They WILL eat small shrimp and feeders (really small feeders), so you know.
Just thought I'd throw that out there in case there was any interest.

I got an "A" in sharing when I was in kiddie school...

Only speak for one of us....I need to see a certificate on the other one, and check to make sure the person that signed it wasn't certified.....as in a nice trip in a little white jacket

hey those tight jackets are very warm!

though they are a bit constricting.

I see how it is around here. For the record, I find the padded walls to have much more benefit than the tight coats. Amateurs. You guys don't know ANYTHING! :P

Ahhhh...the beginning of a 'degreening library'. Now if someone has a fish for loan that will eat the duckweed.. but you can't have everything. Guess I'll just plan to clean tanks tomorrow.

No time today... Taking some 'green' to get some 'green at the GWAPA meeting. (money for plants that is)

Later,
Marge
