Ocean Aquarium anemones

[Myanth]

Huh... anyways, I was in OA in Calgary two weeks ago and asked about the big carpet anemone. Was told $250. Apparently it was for sale then. I bought the small perc that was calling it home and a Coral Beauty. Both are loving life and healthy.... minus the minor Ich inconvenience that I don't know for sure that I got there.

Every time I'm in Calgary I will be checking them out.

If I am not mistaken...Small world, I think my girlfriend and I were in there when you got those fish. I remember my girfriend noting that you had a cooler in your van and told me that we needed to carry a little cooler in the car when we go coral shopping so we don't have to go home everytime we get something before going to the next store.

Buy a cooler bag. They are more convenient because they're collapsible when not needed. I have 2 so I almost always have one in my vehicle. Works great & cooler bags will also cushion the new fishies on their ride home. Got mine from Canadian Tire last time. May be wrong time of year to get them right now though.

When I was in on Friday they had both skink and peppermint shrimp, they were full size though if you don't mind adults.

Big Als is supposed to be getting in a big invert shipment tomorrow.

Greg. Yup that was me with the cooler in the van. Had just picked up some rock and an anemone and was getting ready for the treck up north. Have a little floating thermometer and added a cup of warm water in red deer. Everything was 78 degrees when we pulled in the driveway. I would recommend a cooler to anyone transporting livestock. Bag the specimen and fill the cooler around it with the right temperature water. They will be happy you did.

I am not sure if I remember you? Blue van just to the left of mine when I was leaving? Had one eye on the fish and one on my kids. Didn't want to buy anything that was not intended if you know what I mean. ***CRASH***

I guess even a shop pet is for sale at the right price.
