4 sounds like a decent amount Jim, unless you're going for a herd of giraffes.  lol

Yeah its a decent amount, a herd of giraff's, that would have to be a very TALL tank.....LOL... i really like those fish a lot... I just can't wait till they get a little bigger. The waiting is killing me. Suppose i gotta learn to be patient...

Probly the best store i was in down there. Im wondering did they ever get that 240gal up and running in the back like they were talkin... Just curious, if so how does it look.

Tank should be put on the stand, Tonight !!

[gmaschke]

They are not going to put the huge 240gal on top of the new stand that what dale told me today...

[SKISWETPETS]

Well thats not good to hear. I was hoping next time im down it would be up and running. Im sure it will be, since i don't know when i will be down again.

I had a bad encounter with Dale yesterday. He basically insulted my intelligence on the subject of Festae vs Urophthalmus. I'm sure some of you remember when I was sold Urophthalmus as Festae out there. I've had both and though I haven't been in the fish game long, I do know the difference in the 2 species. The general rule of thumb in this hobby is people know the fish they keep. I keep 2 Festae and I had 2 Urophthalmus, the difference in the 2 is very obvious due to the eye spot and striping (the striping sometimes doesn't show itself till the fish is bigger) But the color of this fish, stripes and eye spot do not match a Festae, they match the Urophthalmus. I even pulled up a picture of a friends female Festae on my phone and set it on the counter for him to see and he wouldn't look at it and pushed the phone back at me. I took that as him being too proud to admit wrong. For those wondering, here is a site with the difference between the 2, they're the first 2 fish http://bigguapote2.tripod.com/newworld.html

BTW, enjoy the money I spent out there. It's probably the last penny I'll ever drop in that store. I hate to do that to Chris, but I will not give Dale another penny of my hard earned money. That arrogant "I'm right because I have been in the hobby a long time and spoke at a catfish convention" attitude is not the right one to take.

Here we go again with you and the Festae. So he disagreed with you on the fish at the end of the store and now it's a big problem for you. Maybe it's for the best that you don't come back. Hate to lose a customer but on the crap pile of fish, people, water changes, orders, phone ringing, and everything else I have to take care of I really don't care if you and Dale don't agree on the fish. BTW it's a Festae.

 Good Luck with everything.

It's not a Festae. But I won't be back. I can promise I'd send my friend out there who has many Festae and he'd tell you it's a Mayan too. But go ahead and mislabel a fish as something it's not and set the hobby back a few steps.

I'd also like to recant anything nice I said about you guys. The fact that you're stubborn about this and don't want to see the fish for what it truly is and would write it off like this speaks volumes for the kind of people you are. I put you in the same category I do Joe at 101... jokes. This place WAS my favorite store until Chris and Dale exhibited the "I am better than you because I've been in the hobby for so long" attitude. I'm also done with this site as it is mostly African Cichlids and I keep CA/SA Cichlids. So long.

[fantasticfins]

Then everyone is happy. See how easy that was.

You were fired from 101 for stealing. The reason I put cameras in my store was because I thought you were stealing. (joe called us and warned us you were stealing from us before he fired you) I'm not sorry to lose a customer that makes my whole store smell like pot every time he comes in.  Dale and I learn something everyday from friends and customers. We don't know every thing there is about fish. No one does. You will be sorely missed. Good Luck with everything.

Cameras???  Dang it.  No more sneaking out those 18" Arrowana in my pants anymore.
