Fish Bowl

[Jocephus]

Looking good, they have a bunch of new stuff, lots of fishies, quite a few corals, mostly euphylia, some real nice blasto's, leathers, etc... I don't know if I would ride down from Wilmington just yet, but for the Dover and south crowd, things are looking up. Great job, Fishbowl! (If you're looking here anymore)

You are indeed a cheap bass turd.

Srry I'm E2 I dnt get paid crap...I need to save every penny

I would strongly not recommend buying anything live from the Fishbowl... We all know its bad... its not worth wasting your money... liveaquaria.com give you a 2 week garuntee on live stock... you can also find a better deal on blue hippos online... Last March I bought a small 2 inch blue hippo from phishybusiness.com for $35.00 the tang is now nearly 4 inches and eats like a horse..... it will quickly out grow your 55... i think your setting up a 180 though... at least i think it was you doing it.

 

[Jocephus]

Come on now, they're trying.

 

[Shnabbles]

Ya trying to steel your money lol...
Seriously come on the lady gives horrible advice... prices are out rageous... most fish look sick.. if they dont its cause they just got them in. Last time i was there they had no lights over the fish.. which ya fish dont need lights... but come on......

I havent been there in a while so maybe things are looking up... Of corse if they did a water change that would be looking up lol.. They have like ALL of their salt tanks plummed together running on a seaclone 100 skimmer lol.

I for one work to hard for my money to be just throwing it down the toilet (fish) bowl.

Sorry im just a LFS basher lol.

They have made some great improvements in the past few weeks. I originally didnt have a great first impression of them, however with the new changes I am really pleased. They dont have any more sick fish than any store that has fish in on a regular basis, they now have lights over their fish, the coral prices are actually pretty good if you compare them to online prices (I got a fire red blasto with green mouths... about 9 polyps for 50$... show me where there is a better price online?), and the new coral system is actually very suited to getting corals in and temporarily holding them untill sale.

Since the new changes, we have bought 3 coral colonies there, and all 3 are quite healthy and doing well in the new tank. We got a nice bubble, some zoanthids, and the blasto. Each one of them is about 10-20$ cheaper than comparable colonies on live aquaria, plus we dont have to pay for shipping.

Just saying give them a chance... your bashing them without even seeing the new set up seems kind of pointless. I agree with Joe, things are definatley looking better and I hope the posotive look continues.

 

[Jocephus]

I really wanted that blasto. I was afraid I didn't have enough light. I plan to check this weekend to see how the remaining bubble corals look. It's not Dr Mac's, but yes- things are much improved!

 

[icy1155]

She had a nice one in this past monday but I was saving my money... otherwise that woulda been mine.

If you have not been there in a while, as you admit to, then why blabber at all? This is exactly the kind of crap that puts our club in a negative light with all of the LFS.

i have to admit there prices on fish have gone down...and there is a black gentleman there who is very very nice and very helpful....might not be the most knowledgeable but nor am i....and if i use my coupin! then i can get 20% off that sixty for that powder blue (im assuming a powder and a yellow mix ok? even if not introduced together? im stepping back from the hippo as the power has a bit more beauty to it)

 

[Jocephus]

The powder blue's were really pretty. Everytime I've tried one they were Ick machines. It's been around ten years since I've tried one though, so maybe some of the collection stress is lessend these days. Powder's are pretty aggressive, as tangs go. I'd introduce both at once, or the yellow first.

 

[DamnPepShrimp]

I'd QT all your fish so you don't have to worry about ich. Leave your 125g fishless for 6-8 weeks and hypo all your other fish. You'll never have to worry about ich again, it may be a PITA but it's worth it in the long run. I am going through the QT process now, my display has been fishless for over a month now, my pods are out of control! I have my fish in a 40b QT tank, in 8 weeks, I will add them to the display, without ich!!!

 

[kaptken]

Sombody needs to build a fire under Marty. he has a 125 virtually over grown with frogspawn. real nice. just need to get him to frag some.

 

[ronert]

<perk> frogspwan?

 

[SnEaKyPoLoCk]

Yea i think the black gentleman is the assistant manager.

Also who has the frogspawn coral! I really want some for cheaper than fish bowl or online... got an offer for $35 so far...

 

[Jocephus]

I'd take the $35. That's pretty good, unless it's a micro-frag.
