So dark here that it's difficult to see what antics are taking place in the fishtank this morning.

Had a couple of hors of sun here this morning but now living in the dark like everyone else!

Just had a call from MA saying they have new stock in... they have a fire red agassizi pair which I'm going to try to nip in and see later. Busy weekend though so might not get to make it down there...

Went to collect live food from LFS this morning. Sadly they have had a problem overnight, causing a flood in the store. Fish are ok, but carpets are soaked and staff have a huge task ahead of them cleaning up and fixing the ceiling.

Glad the fish are ok... I can only imagine what it must cost to insure a fish shop...

I once went into my nearest MA before it became an MA (not the one that burned down) to find the carpets awash after a child had smashed the front of one of the tanks. The fish had been removed before I got there so I don't know how many survived. Yet another of the things than can befall a fish shop.

Luckily the only impact on the fish tanks was staff having to turn the lights out whilst sorting out the ceiling. The tanks & livestock were fine.
I can't imagine the sort of mess that a broken tank would create in a shop.

I like to think that the child got soaked and the seat in the parents' car got rather wet on the way home

No-one said if the child had to go to A & E to be stitched up though; I wouldn't wish that on even the most badly behaved child. Though there was no sign of blood on the wet carpet .....

The shop erected a rope barrier, as seen in art galleries, after that. When the garden centre was taken over by Wyevale and the fish section was taken over and upgraded by MA, they did away with the barrier.

I would also like to think that the child got soaked, and possibly knocked on its behind by the force of the water.
Poor fish, and poor staff having to deal with such an unpleasant incident. Hopefully no-one was injured by the broken glass.

I'm "with" you both on that. I was horrified to see a child scoot in the LFS one time - I think it is totally unacceptable to be using a scooter indoors, not only for the safety of other customers, but additionally for the fish in the glass tanks.

+1 for the little blighter to have had his come-uppance, one way or another...!!!

I made it... they are acclimating whilst have my tea!...

TopCookie · « **Reply #1171 on:** April 28, 2018, 06:30:04 PM »

Excellent...!!! Can't wait for the pics now...

fcmf · « **Reply #1172 on:** April 28, 2018, 07:02:16 PM »

Exciting!

Matt · « **Reply #1173 on:** April 28, 2018, 07:22:01 PM »

I'll give them a little settling in time... they are slowly exploring the tank then having a little hide then exploring some more... they got quite stressed in the bag so it might not be till tomorrow when i do pictures. They are also quite young so don't expect the best looking fish just yet!

Also turns out they are red flames rather than red fires... quick Google shows a more "regal" understated patternation. The dark lateral stripe is missing from this colour form. Female is a lovely deep orange.

Oooh, more new arrivals. Great news.

Matt · « **Reply #1175 on:** April 29, 2018, 09:41:02 PM »

Voila

Lovely.

What a handsome young fella...!!!

Littlefish · « **Reply #1178 on:** April 30, 2018, 08:54:51 AM »

Great looking fish.

Hmmm - following finding an empty snail shell last week-ish, opened the tanklid this evening to feed dinner and there were 4 baby snails crawling over a plant near the surface... It's been several weeks since my last plant additions, so they've obviously been lurking around for a while.
