Title: Busy Weekend
Category: Full of Life
Blog Entry: Well it was a wild weekend! I went garage sailing and found a 45 gal high tank with hood and filter for $20!! It needed a new silicone job as they moved it with rocks in it.So we filled it up to test it and yes it leaked.So my hubby recalked it and now its fine.It came with a HEAVY gold wrought iron(not welded metal)stand that someone tried to spray paint black.I have never seen a stand that massive.It is unique and must have cost them a fortune.I am going to paint it black.I used to refinish antique oak furniture and paint and I know I can make it look cool.Also we drove to Ontario Ohio to Pepboys to look at custom auto parts and then to a few nasty petshops.Have never seen as bad a shop as the one there and I lived in the south where people had their own shops/mills.It was disgusting. The choc angelfish fry are 3 weeks old now.They are getting pigment and looking like little arrowheads swimming in the tank! Finially look like angels,not tadpoles! Have about 150 of them.They appear choc or gold and will all be pearlscale I was told by the breeder of their parents.I love pearlscale!! I plan to keep a few chocs hopefully female as their parents knucklehead and cloe are stunning!! Sad thing is they dont show their true deep color until months old and a lot of people dont know this.I can always show buyers photographs or let them come and see the parents in person.When I was a professional hamster breeder people would drive from canada to see my hamsters.It was a 4 hr drive back then when I lived in Mich.I was amazed but people will drive for quality.That is, if they know their genetics.
