A Little tough for me to get down to denver. I can't exactly justify the use of gas for some fish to the lady of the house LOL. Maybe I can sweeten her up though, her B-day is in a couple weeks...
Pick a nice restaurant, tell her yer plannin' a special B-day dinner, and then on yer way down say, "Oh yeah, BTW, do ya mind if we stop at..."
I hear ya, I only get down to Denver a coupla times a year. Mrs. WYite knows better than to stand between me and and my hobby, though, and wouldn't argue the point with me as long as it wasn't a monthly excursion.
Do you think it would be worth it to try calling a LFS in Fort Collins (much closer to me) and have them special order some? Would they charge an extra order fee or a high price for the fish for doing so?
Both Great White Aquatics and D&G Pets in Fort Collins have told me they'd see if they could get fish for me, and when I check back a few days or a week later they have excuses as to why they don't have any info yet. It's happened time and time again, so I don't even try anymore. I'm only in Cheyenne and offered to pay their cost as a down payment, basically removin' the risk for them, and some of the fish I've requested have not been extremely hard to get, so I've lost faith in both those shops. You may have better luck, especially if ya bug 'em and make yer face familiar. I only get down to Fort Collins every other month or so if I don't have a specific reason.
Animal Attraction in Greeley is a very nice shop, nicer than either LFS in Fort Collins, IMO, and the staff is great. I haven't tried to have them special order anything for me. Dependin' on where yer at, ya might have some luck there.
As far as the Pleco's, Thanks for the info, I'm sure they will be perfectly content to stay in my community tanks with the much friendlier rasboras and ghost shrimp
They will be.
