Vance's Tropical Fish in Bucksport

[jessiesgrrl]

Hey, I stopped into Vance's in Bucksport today as he was getting a new order in. He had some stuff in that order that is crazy- wanted you guys to know. I tried to describe the best stuff below.

He has a rock of about 9 or more rhododacticis (SP?) mushrooms of a color I have never seen before- a really lovely purple with blue highlights, and a teal middle, white mouth. I threatened to camp out until he gave me one!!!! Absolutely stunning, especially under actinic lights...!!!

He also had several colonies of eagle eye zoanthids, red zoanthids, and a really bright kiwi green colony that were about 6 inches by 6 inches at least, covering the ENTIRE rock.

There were lots of anenomes- green BTAs, rose, sebaes. Also a Christmas ISland wrasse, and striped citron clown gobies, and 3 gold striped adult clowns that showed the yellow really brightly. First time I have ever seen a northern Maine store get stuff that good in for zoanthids. Hope it goes to a SWAM member!! I picked up one of the gold striped clowns, a rhododactis mushroom... and I think I am going back tomorrow!!!

You THINK you are going back tomorrow? I bet you will be there before the doors open
Sounds like some nice stuff. I should get up that way sometime.

jessiesgrrl,

Would like to see if you can get him to part with anything out of his personal tank there. I here he has some nice zoo's in there......

IMO, I'd go after what he just got in first- it's that nice, and the colonies are really good sizes, bright coloration! I would imagine he would trade frags for new cool frags though. He's a great guy.
