Went to Dirk's today!

[mmmm Reefy!]

That man has snails everywhere!!!!! He received like 3000 snails in. all the tanks are wall to wall algae munching critters. He also got cerith snails, emerald crabs and peppermint shrimps! A few ribborn gorgonians left too! You have not seen snails til you have seen 3000 of them! YIKES!

[MERCEDES]

What is he charging for the snails and peppermint shrimp?

[otolith]

You know the saying, "If you gotta ask..."
lol


OK, he's pretty reasonable. May have to get some cerith snails, and some other "stuff."

[mmmm Reefy!]

astreas were $0.50
Peppermints were $5.00
he also had conchs etc etc, I do not remember what the rest of the prices were!


But I did see them munch aiptasia! he has been changing rocks in and out of his tank for them to eat the aiptasia!

[Soltaker]

I might have to make a trip down soon!

[MERCEDES]

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHH I will have to get some of those peppermints if they are really eating aiptasia. Mine all look at it and laugh and say "where's the mysis?" I need some snails too and I might have to try one of those crabs I just don't want them munching on my zoos instead of hair algae

[clyde]

yeah ditto

I need peppermints

guess its time to ask Dirky baby to hold some for me, and I ll drive all the way down..

but again theres a meeting so soon isnt it ? (checking web page) hm March 9th.

maybe this weekend, I ll drive down, hit him up for 10 peppermints or so.

Does anybody know if Dirk is going to be at the March meeting? I would like to get some snails and a peppermint but it is too much of a drive from Duluth in one day.

[otolith]

So are you going to be able to make it to the meeting?!? He usually makes most meetings, unless he's playing volleyball or something like that.

[marm64]

I am hoping that I can make it. I usually have a meeting on the first and third Tuesday of the month so I should be able to come. If I do make it I do not think that I can get that darn clown goby out of my tank. I only see him when the I feed and he darts out to get food and it right back into the rock.

[otolith]

Not a problem if you can't catch the goby, hope you don't mind that you added it because of me. If you need some "compensation," I'm sure I can find a frag or two for ya. LMK what you'd like.

[marm64]

It is not a big deal and it was a cheap price for the fish. I do not know what you have so how about a sampler I am not looking for too much at this time since I am hopefully getting some new brighter lights. Thanks for the offer though.

[dirk griffin]

I will be at the march meeting. All of the fish sold, there are a couple of ribbon gorgonians left, and these pepperment shrimp are NUTS. It looks like a school of piranah's going at it. There was one aptasia that was quarter sized they took down the first night. I am trying some other rocks with larger aptasia on them to see if I get the same results. They also really like those little starfish--always missing arms that breed like crazy that I don't like.
Also lots of emrald crabs, cerlith and nassarius snails, owe and a couple thousand astrea's....man does that clean a tank up!!

[polskp]

Hey Dirk-

If you're going to the meeting would you consider bringing me a few peppermints? I don't know if you're into delivery. . . lol. Approximately how big are they? I need to do something about by budding aptasia. But I worry about my pseudochromis.

Thanks,
Pete
