It was technically a retirement closing but they have been suffering a long time. I did not shop there except when I first got into the hobby. I wish I could have given them my business but I knew too many things about the owner and what happened behind the scenes to shop there and their higher than anymore else prices didn't help. Still it is a shame to see such a large LFS die. Next closest LFS that I will shop at is an hr away, makes me feel like I live in the boonies instead of the tri-state area lol.
2 celebes down today. One looked like it die last night and the other was very recent. I knew when I bought them and their was a dead one in the tank that this might happen. The other 4 seem OK though, very active at feedings, good color, no obvious ill behaviors so I'm just gonna hope for the best. I just found some 1.5hrs away for $7 a pair so I might grab some more before the deal is gone hopefully.
Everyone else looks good. And water tests were good despite the tank being fishless for, what, over a month now. I did remove the HOB and add the media to the 58g when I moved the BNs over but kept the sponge running and there was snails populating during that time though.
