Rich,

Sorry to hear about your fish

Any idea what happened to it?

mine jumped out of the tank at night time and died so I wont be buying another one.I just was sitting tonight watching my tank and my Moorish Idol was eating my zoo's he was picking them off one by one the dirty little bugger.

Bev,

I have no idea what happened... it was doing great before it vanished. The day before it went MIA, I hand fed it krill via tongs.... there was no sign of illness, and it was the only fish in the tank. The top was very secure (eggcrate with gutterguard on top of it), so there was no way it could have jumped out. I did see a giant bristleworm in there... my best guess is that the jawfish might have gotten stung by it and died that way.

I may just scrap that tank, go BB and turn it into a frag tank... but I do love jawfish. Hopefully they'll have some when I stop by there tonight or tomorrow.

Anyways, 40 bucks for a yellowhead is a steal... most places around here charge at least double

. If someone from here doesn't get at least one of them, it'd be a darn shame

Any idea if the guy with the bad teeth still works there? I'm out with my GF tonight and she refuses to go into that store because of him

AFAIK, he's still there, but it might be his day off. Husband doesn't like shopping there either

where is this store???? I've never heard of it

It's on Stony Plain Rd, just west of 150 St, on the north side. New owners took it over a year or so ago. Now called Evolution of Pets, but probably still has the KOI Petshop signs on the front of the store.

When I first got into SW, bought LR and some livestock from them. They seemed to be the only store in the city where SW stuff could be found. Sure have gone downhill since those old days
