Rocks, worms, slugs and shrimp....what a delicious combination!
Trip again to Victoria. Need more activity in the salty one. 1 Feather Duster and 1 Frogspawn coral don't make too much exciting activity! So off we go. We set a limit this time to how much to spend .... did it work???
Off to Safari first as we told Japarto that we would be in to pick up some more rock. Said he'd give us a good deal on some live rock since we were driving down to pick it up from him. Hmmmm...guess he forgot to mention that he wouldn't be in....and the rest of the staff??? Holy do they need some good manners lessons! So we left there a bit cheezed off and a whole lot disappointed!
Off to Hillside to see Cora. I bet she has some cool stuff....and her staff is all really good! Just her and Gordon. In we go, no one there .... but of course as soon as we show up so do the hordes! Gave us lots of time to look around. K, some really really cool slugs! They call them Sea Hares but basically they're slugs that eat algae and look like cows in a way...I think so at least. So we are in there for quite some time. Cora was as always very helpful but it's funny, the other people that shop at Hillside will talk to you about what works for them and what they have in their tanks. I start to chat to a guy about the slugs....he reassures me that they are very easy to keep and stuff. I decide I want one (there are only 2) and I will only take the big one. At the same time there are 2 others that want a slug. I got first dibs from Cora! Yay. So we got the slug. And we also picked up a skunk shrimp or cleaner shrimp, another Feather Duster but a different color, and an anemone. Yah we're pushing our luck but hey...you gotta try it! We also bought another 25lbs of rock. Looks like good rock too! Off we go home.
Put them all in our tank....built up the rock. Looks kindof neat in there now. Not so empty. "Jacques" the shrimp has set up his territory. "Bessie" the slug is doing her job...and pooping, and pooping and pooping. K, someone could have told us that they poop ALL the time! Oh well. See what happens cuz she is really cute! The anemone set himself up under a rock (of course not where we wanted him to be but..they do have a mind of their own!), set up the feather duster and there we go! Lets hope all do well. The coral and the 1st duster did really well...so here goes!
