I called Dave today and got his voice mail. He and his wife are expecting a baby very soon and he's not available via phone.
I plan to send him an email to see if we should wait to place a group order. I will let everyone know asap.

Their son was born Sunday. (Dylan Ray, 8lbs 9oz)

Dave and his wife had their baby over the weekend and he mentioned he would only be in the store a few days this week.

I might be interested in picking up a couple fish too... it will be a game time decision for me though.

Any word on when this might happen?

I plan to get the order together in February...probably arrange pick up at the MCA March meerting.
BTW, we have a great speaker arranged for March's meeting...Doug Sweet, the former curator of the Belle Isle Aquarium.

I will be talking to Dave in the next week or so and will get more details.

LOL, sorry Dan. Look at it this way though...I doubt Dave is going out of business anytime soon, so we can do a future order with him again sometime...as well as doing group buys from other sellers. The important thing is buy the house so you can build a kick-butt fish room...which you will then need to fill with equally kick-butt fish.

When I came home earlier and my basement was flooded I figured that could be a kick butt fish room until I got yelled at because the couch down there was getting wet. So I got so little help to bring it up the stairs... Best part is landlord says its my fault...

The only name I know is the Calvis right now. I have that posted in there.  I know she has others up her sleeves.  I saw her looking at the list from Dave's.

Here's my veiws on it.... Unless you're breeding & want to diversify the genes in your fry, it is better to buy from a local person.
.You can see the fish first hand before money changes hands & the money you pay is supporting our economy,  as opposed to another state.

Not looking to breed them.  Just our personal tanks.  Problem being... I cant find the darn things anywhere local.  I would for sure like to see them first.  I am a 100% supporter of buying local.

We are going to give a shot with the Albus on breeding, but yet still a display tank.  We'll see how that breeding experiment goes.
