I Got A Free Fish!

Every so often, I like to go for a mooch around an LFS, not necessarily to buy anything (yeah, right!) but just to check out the fish stock. Today, I was in one that I hadn't visited for ages and noticed that, in a tank full of Silver Hatchetfish, there was one solitary Marble Hatchetfish - of which I already have three (originally four but one vanished.)

So I was explaining this to Simon, the Polish fish guy that I know fairly well and asked him how much for the single Marble Hatchetfish. He bagged it up, handed it to me, saying "No charge - I know you'll give it a good home!"

Thats good Mary - not often you get something for nowt is it so well done.

I know! Very pleased with myself. Of course there was a heartstopping moment as I was transferring him to the Q tank as they're not called "flying fish" for nothing.

Luckily, all went well and he's now settling in there.

isnt that great Mary - my lfs has never gven me anything free . Must be the way you smile at him!

That could be it...

snowballs are not that expensive (think i paid over the odds for mine at £20 tho)

Trimar are good value - not one of my Gslaxy rasboras has flipped a fin and they came by post

just a thought - oh - I got 20 free platys from my LFS - is was but 1 get another load free (arrived preggie) so thats gotta count

may well have a look at snowballs next time i visit lfs, would like a new bigger tank as well 300lt something like that.
