Cool. Will you get an Ora?

coffeetwitch · 11-08-2011, 10:59 PM

coffeetwitch · 11-08-2011, 11:09 PM

Luckily there's a lfs here that sells them. I won't get mine online because you never know if it really eats prepared foods. I'll make sure it eats prepared before I purchase.

lucky you, here in springfield mo. we are very restricted as far as stores. and their inventory. sure they say they can order fish. but thats not the same as seeing the same fish for a while in their water making sure its ok to buy.

Exactly. That's basically someone ordering it for you and then giving it to you.(same as you ordering it) I like to see what I buy no matter what it is. And shop around to get the best price.

Another Missouri reefer. Howdy. It's worse here in Columbia...just one small LFS, but the gal who runs it is knowledgable.

coffeetwitch · 11-09-2011, 12:53 AM

yes sir. i would have thought columbia was big enough to have more. personally i think its amazing that we have what we have here.

There is a store in Jeff City that I have not seen yet. We had another store but they moved back to Mexico Mo. I use to have a store here for years, but found better things to do. Back in the 70's when saltwater was really experimental...and very unrewarding.

My six line does great with no special care in the world. He eats the pellets like a pig and is a great addition to my tank.

Alright thanks!

Gregcoyote · 11-09-2011, 11:00 PM

They can get pretty pushy for a wrasse, but a good addition to the reef.
