Yeah, the lighting, I was disappointed because there is inconsistancy in the lighting. He just sold one of the lights over a section of the tanks to some guy a few days ago
Anyways, I went to see him last night and I told him I had gone online onto an aquarium forum and asked what sort of fw we ought to stock to improve variety, and he said that he'd love to do it as long as he can find them. He travels all over state, like I said, so it should be no biggie. He also said he has a few regular customers who have inquired about more uncommon fw stuff so he thinks it's a good idea.
And I want to get a better supply of the commons, too... he tends to just have one or two specimen of each species...
He's only been open about... two years now? And business definately waxes and wanes. I feel bad because I went in there last night because a brazilian puffer I bought off him had some kind of velvet or something, and he just handed me this half empty bottle of hydroplex that had initially been priced at $34. He also has just been paying me out of his pocket, and if anyone asks, I am volunteering and he is donating me money, basically. Atleast there's a lot of room for improvement in his shop... but it does have a lot of potential.
I'm liking the cleanup crew thing... I think it would be cool to get assorted colors of apple snails, too. Decorative, not just the standard black ones. Anyone know where I can get them cheap / in bulk?
