What tang for my 5g?

[MG21]

You could try a whale shark in there also, but you might have to upgrade to a 10 gallon. Make sure you keep up on your water changes though, I heard they have some big turds.

MG21, can I get one of those at my LFS?

 

[snorvich]

Actually, LBCBJ, it is best to purchase an egg, watch it hatch and then acclimate it gently. They don't ship well unless they have a really large bag.

 

[LBCBJ]

Dang. I was hoping I could get one full grown

 

[jerehmy]

I had a baby killer whale in a 55g for a week then he got ick so I tossed him into the ocean :lol:

 

[snorvich]

No problem. When I go diving next, I will pick you up one. Do you prefer male, female, or a mated pair? They have a great personality and will add some color to your tank.

 

[jerehmy]

I was shooting for a mated pair, mabye even a pregenant female. A calf would be just amazing in my 10g growout tank.

 

[LBCBJ]

I heard they fare better in schools, I wouldn't want one to get lonely

 

[snorvich]

Well I would have to charge more if the female is pregnant since my shipping cost would be greater. You do know that you may eventually have to upgrade your tank? Or, you could simply bring it to your LFS for store credit.

I was planning on giving it to Sea World since I live in San Diego. They said on the phone that we could make a trade for a coupple of Bottlenose Dolphins that would look really aswome in a 60g tank next to the T.V.

Whos LFS has Bottlenose Dolphins ??....... Thats what I thought:wavehand:

 

[snorvich]

Ok, well that is a pretty good trade. Are the bottlenose dolphins football fans? Maybe they are called that because they like Miller Lite (sorry Bud Lite)

 

[LBCBJ]

Why did I never think of that? My 5g is right beside the TV. I was thinking... I could mount the subwoofer right below the tank to create natural wave action! I bet the dolphines would love that! Do any online vendors sell bottlenose's, like marine depot?

 

[jerehmy]

No sorry :sad2:

The only place I know of is Sea World but who knows mabys you might get lucky and find a mated pair at the swap meet.

A man once said "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, Give a man a killer whale and feed him for a year" :lol2:

I think that once the pair settles they would be able t o handle a few mackeral??
