Thank You my Hero

[LizStreithorst]

Muggers sent me about half a million white tipped BN plecos Monday.  The Post Office in Illinois screwed up big time.  They sent my boxes of fish to the netherworld.  I can't even guess how many times I refreshed the USPS tracking page.  I checked it first thing when I got up this morning and the fish had arrived.  I drank my coffee and drove toward town before the post office opened. As I was driving my phone rang and the lady on the other end said. "is this the lady from the Stylish Dog?" I said, "Yes, is this the lady from the post office?" I got there and knocked on the door to the back with the sign on it that said, This door will not be opened. You have no choice but to wait until the start of business hours.  I told them that I was here for the fish. 

I opened the box with several options in mind, the first of which was to find a dumpster to dump 4 big bags of dead fish in.  Instead I found 4 big bags of active fish!  I warmed them up and stuck them in a 10 gallon that I had waiting at the shop until I left work.  Then the poor darlin's got dumped in to a 3 gallon bucket for the drive home, and then into a 65 gallon in the fish room.

Thank you, Jon.  The babies are all beautiful and God knows they are tough.  I will name male I choose for breeding Odysseus.

LOL....that's a good name.... ...or Marco Polo ...LOL.....he took the long way around too..
I'm glad that they're finally in your tank.....feed em a good meal, they have to be starved...they love 'teenie greenie'.....LOL....I like those little white tipped tails too...might have the LF version soon too....??..

There was algae galore in the 10 gallon at the shop.  I let it get that way on purpose.  They started chowing down right away.  There's some algae in their new home, but I blanched a few slices of Zucchini and tossed them in.  I have algae wafers and lots of Teenie Greenie.

I'd be interested in a small selection of white tipped long fin.  Let me know when you have some ready.  You know that I'll want to breed these cute little buggers inspite of myself

 ..it's easy to get hooked on the cute little darln's....     you might need some of the little blue eyed too?.....one look in those eyes and boomba.....

[b125killer]

I'm happy that they all made it safely, they are some hardy fish. and the blue eye are nice too. 

[BallAquatics]

Great story with a happy ending.  Yes, the blue eyes are fantastic, for that matter, all of Jon's fish are of the highest quality.  You just can't go wrong when you stop by Jon's House of Horny Angels!!!

Baby carrots are good for them, too. Just split them in half from end to end and toss them in raw. They sink on their own.
