orange yumas (interested?)

[jenniebutterfly]

i went to fishtown today, and they had a bunch of rocks of orange yumas. after the 20% discount they were around $33. i got one rock with quite a few on it. here is a link to pics of the ones i picked up. they are not labeled as yumas, but instead orange shrooms http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52917

 

[joseney21]

i would be interested in one, lmk...

 

[spykes]

cool jennie i be intrested too, but i wanted to ask are there any more in fishtown ?

 

[jenniebutterfly]

yes thats why i was posting it here, they are labeled on the tank accross from the sps tank as orange shrooms, there were 5 more rocks there when i left, better hurry though, it anyone else sees them and knows what they are they will be gone. they look horrible under their lights though, and i have them under compact fluorescents and they glow bright orange, so don't be fooled by the ugly color in their tanks lol. i won't be going back to fishtown to pick these up for people, just wanted to let yall know they are there.

 

[jenniebutterfly]

oh and all the rocks that were there when i left had about the same amount on them. i was looking at mine, and there are about 10 small babies on it too. whats funny is they don't know they are yumas or i am sure the price would be much higher than it is.

 

[FastUno]

How do you get the 20% discount?

 

[jenniebutterfly]

it is automatic. they do it at check out. just remember the price on the tank, and then look at what they write down and make sur ethey put a lower price.

sometimes they forget

 

[spykes]

Wow, great score Jen!

 

[spykes]

awww sam you shouldve told me

i wouldve gotten you to get me on too

 

[jenniebutterfly]

yeah i keep seeing this color online for like $45 a shroom lol. if only they knew, and one of the guys said i should get a job there. thinking about it, i know i need one lol.

 

[spykes]

yay go jennie maybe i can acually get some help around there now ppl are somewhat obnoixus sometimes

 

[spykes]

is the green ones there too?

 

[jenniebutterfly]

the other ones i got are there, they are on the other side of the coral tanks on the bottom right, they are not priced. they were in a tank with small hermits. you would have to ask for a price on them though.

and spykes, i am really thinking about it, but it would not be until the fall when my son starts pre-k unless i can get them to work around my husbands schedule. since he is a fire fighter i would still be able to work 4-5 days out of the week. i am going to go talk to the owner sometime soon. i guess he is there during the week. but i am leary about working there because then i feel like i might not enjoy my tank at home as much

 

[spykes]

the owner is a moron in saltwater hehhe. they didnt accimilate the antana whatever it's called, and i wanted to buy it, so they made me wait for a very long timem like a hr, shortly after the owner steps up to my mother and tells her sorry miss i cant sells you it, because we have to accmilite the fish into their system. why cant they just gimme the fish so i can accimiate in my system instead of the fish getting used to two types of water. I didnt mind that i guess there are rules. what pissed me off was he gave me another excuse telling me the fish comes in water of PH of 4.7 and they need to boost it up to 8. Any marine life at 4 Ph is too acid even chilid are just 6. when buffer lowers ALK and calcium are thrown off balanced. I think the store owner serious gave me BS LOL . i was probably mad cause i stool there for 3 hrs

 

[nanoreefer22]

Don't ya just hate when that happens. Happens to me all the time at pet shops....they look at me and think i dont know a thing...it so sad...but 4.7 for a pH thats just crazy. Wouldn't that basically kill the fish cause its extremely low?

 

[marrone]

It's very common that fish that are shipped from anywhere from 24 - 48 hours come in with very lower ph. Remember alot of fish die in shipping or come in with ammonia burns. Alot of place ship eels, which will throw up in the bags in wet rolled up newspaper so they don't die in the bags because of low Ph and high ammonia. I've seen bag come in from shipping that the water looks yellow from the waste that the fish gives off. Remember unless the fish are coming from a local wholesaler or are being repacked, once they arrive in this country, they're in the bag for quite some time.

[scotty]

i got a great score like that from there and they all died. be careful of that place

 

[spykes]

well i can tell you i test the water i cant be 4.7 4.7 is nearly vinager level nothing will be accimated at that PH, acually you know coke is around that PH and you dissove a fish to the bone, the fish in petland are alive just captured with cyandie that's why they die do often, but hey they are cheap.
