Does John carry live brine shrimp (baby or otherwise)? Or any other live foods like pods etc?

I believe he does sell live brine. Its in this little fridge thing near his Koi Pond by the boom box in the back Not sure about pods though. HTH

John has a few nice ricordia yuma right now. I picked up one a few days ago so now I can let the secret out. Thanks to Lak and his iPhone for helping me spend my gift certificate

There's a pic of the one I got on my tank build thread.

Nice pictures. Do you know how much John was asking for the yumas? I may have to drive down and visit him.

 

[FishGuy5]

Also, anyone know if he had any carpet anenomes? TIA

 

[lanxang]

His price varies but they usually range between 50-100.00. He doesn't get them often and in the 10+ years, first time i've seen those colors. the one in the picture when he told me were 75 and 85.

I don't remember seeing any carpet but he does get green one once in a while.

Presently standing at Twins looking at these crazy looking Mantis shrimps he has. He also has a few different wrasses and cool looking Yumas.

I saw a candy hogfish and a Lamark's angel (genicanthus) over at Twins a few days ago. The price on both was very good. I was tempted on the candy hog but decided against due to my fairy wrasses.

John also has a half dozen nice various angels, including a beautiful large queen.

Seen this awesome anemone at Twins today. Not sure if its a bubble tip, but the colors were way more vibrant in person. Can someone please ID, I would love to know the name

Ryan -- Does look like a BTA not sure the exact kind.

Jake -- The candy hogfish are great! I can see your apprehension with the fairy wrasses. I have mine with a 6-line and they get along pretty well and often swim around with each other. I did notice his angels, especially in the lower tanks.

Also, seems like he's got at least 3 big mantis shrimp over there. I tried to get Brian M to pet one, but he wasn't down for that.

Never knew a bleached coral could look so nice. Lol

Stopped by Twins today and saw some very cool things. He had some nice clams, sun coral, rics, and other random things. He also had 4 of these Angels, a few Purple Firefish, a boat load of Red Firefish, Yellow Coris Wrasses, Midas Blenny, and what I believe to be an Elegant Blenny. He also had a ton of Psychadelic Mandarins and a bunch of different Angels too.

Here is a pic of what I think are Angels, what type, I have not a clue lol

..and also what I thought might have been an Elegant Blenny

 

[bbl_nk]

Possibly an Indian Yellowtail ot Vermiculated Angel?

 

[Bdimas]

Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus. Singapore Angel. Very pretty fish.

 

[RiOnRoxXx]

Man, just did some reasearch on those angels and they seem to be SPS nippers. Sucks cause they're such a gorgeous fish....

 

[Bdimas]

Yeah those guys are pretty good nippers. Plus its pretty rare to see one that looks fat and healthy in a lfs.

Stopped at Twins today for some blackworms and noticed a female watanabe angel there. She is a little beat up but for someone who can QT her and provide a little extra TLC I'm sure it would be a good deal. (my QT is full right now)

He also has a gorgeous blonde naso. ~6 inches fat and healthy looking, the price was very good. There was a guy thinking about buying it while I was there.

I stopped by Twins yesterday and saw a couple of extremely beautiful queen angels there. Just thought I'd pass the word along in case anyone is in the market.
