the fish needs to be in water for it to work..

bummer! Nice redhooks though!

thanks!

nice redhooks

thanks very much..

I wanted to get 4 or 5, but they only had 4 in the tank and one had a screwed up eye..so I had to only go with three..

that really sucks 12VM. i feel for ya... ive also used the freezer method. though pulling out the bag is saddening, i think this method is the most humane.

on the other hand, those are some sexy red hooks. hopefully these will lift that damned curse on your tank.

 

[12 Volt Man]

I hope so..

redhooks >> the evil curse.

ive never seen so many pages
i cant belive this 150 gal started all this
good job i guess?

depends on how you look at it I guess.

the fish issues haven't really been my fault, as none of it is maintenance related and the setup in terms of hardware is exactly how I hoped it would be. well made tank, good equipment etc. of course, it came with a price..lol. this is a $2000 setup (before taxes)..but worth every penny IMO.

I am going fish shopping tomorrow to see what I can find. I have no real 'plans' in mind, just going to play it by ear. the last two planned stocking lists did not work out LOL

so this time, its all up in the air..which can be kind of fun too..

nothing good at the LFS's today. I will not put fish in the tank simply for the sake of putting fish in. they have to be nice and good quality or its a no go.

however, its not really surprising as this is post boxing week sales, so stock is down and nothing new has really come in yet.
