hahaha Levi I was just thinking the same thing. Or at least that I have an away mission coming on later today. Save me one or two, k?

[muck]

What makes you think Catherine hasn't been there yet and took them all?

[karazy]

haha, there were still plenty of clams left today. mind you most of them are quite small (3'' long i'd say)

chapter 2:i woke up again exited as ever, and ready to work. when i got to the store colby got me to feed the fish right away! sadly our new 4 purple tangs and 2 sohal tangs wouldn't eat much. after that i got to take a sponge and scrub off all the algae in the tanks.it was hard to do the guppy tank because they kept tickling my arm so i would jiggle around in my laughter. i almost had water in my armpits!
then ofcourse i realized in my vigorous scrubbing, i had spilled water down the front of the tanks and ruined my squeegee and buffing job i had done the day before. D'oh! well i got out the squeegee and buffing supplies and got back to work. while i was doing that Colbies custom man arrived to finish up a tank and start a new one. it was nice to meet the man who did such a good job on my sump. then when i was done that, colby had an idea and whipped out the mysis with garlic and some added nutrients.
We fed about 10 whole cubes to the tangs, and the tangs loved it!
thank god they were eating i thought. the garlic was because they have a bit of ick on them.
it was hilarious watching the sohal tang eat. He would open his mouth as wide as he could, and then rocket right through the mysis cloud, over and over again.
Sadly by the time i was done feeding the tangs my dad was there and i had to leave.
i was very pleased when colby asked if i would come back in easter and maybe on some weekends. ofcourse i said i would, then said my goodbyes, and i was off to go back home.

HAPPY TIMES!

If nothing else at least you had fun and got some good experience, which could help land a job in the future.

well i ahve to remember to keep this thread updated..

since the last time i posted ive worked again 2 times, and learned alot of new stuff.
i usualy just do the usual(feed the fish, scrub the tanks, squeegee the tanks) but Colby always incorporates something new.

since the last update he taught me the correct way to catch and bag fish.
We now have a bag filled with some water sitting in a ziploc that i have to tie up everytime i go by.
im actually getting better at it at first my bag looked pretty droopy and the rubber band was a bit of a tangled mess. now my bags are looking taller, not so droopy, and the rubber band looks pretty neat if i dont say so myself.

that's it for now. more to come next time i work.

[Rbacchiega]
