After I had paid, and was ready to hoist the tank into my car, the LFS discovered that the stand was of the wrong color.
I got kinda irritated. You don't promise and then fail to deliver.
I had buckets of fish suffering in limbo and was more than ready to put up the new and much wanted tank.
So; struck a deal with them.
They agreed upon delivering the tank (with the correct stand) to my doorstep as soon as possible.
And I bullied them into giving me a baby A. hispidus which had been going in their marine dept. for a couple of months.
Collected fish today.
Little fella is now being brought down from marine to brackish conditions (1.010).
He will live there for around three years, after that I am investing in a hugish fish only marine tank.
This fish eventually needs marine conditions and he grows kinda big... (50 cm)
My only worry is how the other puffers will react to a newcomer.
Tank is occupied by my GSP; Izabella, three Fig8s (will be moved into separate quarters shortly), a load of Mollies and two BB-gobies.
Time will tell.
Little guy is terrified of this huge shadow (myself) leaning over the bucket.
Future home with a drip system in order to bring him calmly down to the current SG.
Can this be a part of my actual life?
Updates will follow.
