The meeting was Thursday, right. Well tonight is Monday night and I just remembered that, at the meeting, Tyler Burmingham gave me a young Bangaii Cardinal, the last one of a batch that was growing in a goldfish bowl on his kitchen table. So I'm sitting here reading posts and the remembrance comes to me...What did I do with it How embarassing but amazing that it lived in the bag for 100 hours. That's over four full days! Wow! |
Oh no... I placed it in the plastic file box I keep Treasurer stuff in.... The Bangaii is probably floating! So I go over, open the box and lift up the bag...the fish is faded because of the dark, but it's bouncing around inside!! 
So I immediately open the bag scoop it up in my hand and set it into my nano.Replies:

Holly smokes!! That's awesome that he survived. A lot of fish don't make it on a plane for four hours and that one lasted four days! That's proof that you bought a hardy fish. |

Bangaii are hardy, especially when they are bred and raised by a club member! Thanks Tyler. Mark - - - - - - - - - - 30 years freshwater experience 11 years reefkeeping experience 4 months breeding Tomato Clowns 8 years nurturing the best marine aquarium club in the world!

How do you folks add that signature with dotted line and info, single spaced? |

Shift-Return at the end of a line does single spacing. I think the dotted line is automatically added before your signature if you have one entered in your profile. ------------- Mark & Natalie Larsen |

Thats one of the babies from the mom/dad pair I sold to tyler 1 year ago! Anybody know who has the pair now? I'd be interested in taking them to Vermont on Aug 8 if the current owner wants to part with them? Brad |
