Banggai Cardinal - Pterapogon kauderni: $20

[alrha]

Had this guy for about a year, just got him out and into my quarantine tank for temporary holding.

I have caught him once in the past with a cleaner shrimp in his mouth, but he has not bothered the other cleaner shrimp in the tank (he may have just been really hungry as i have not fed the tank for a while during that incident).

must go to a good home.

here he is:

Ronster, got your PM.
Let me know if you want me to bring him in today...

i feel bad leaving him in there all alone for long, he looks sad...

 

[RonsterNYC]

Albert - you pm back. Ron:goldfish:

 

[aaron]

I'lll take him if Ronster doesnt.

 

[alrha]

Ronster, I'm bring him in for you tomorrow. He'll be in a jar so you can open it up at work and let him get fresh air. i'm also gonna give you a zip-lock with some of his favorite food and a jar of zooplankton for your other fish.
I'll meet you at 12 on 46th and Park (230 Park is the address, it's actually ON park).
shoot me a PM when you are on your way to give me a heads up.
Thanks.

Arron you canhave mine in a week ,its your for a beer ,ops i dont drink beer ,how bout ginger ale :biggrin:

 

[alrha]

and make sure to give him his blanky-wanky at night, he wont sleep without it.

 

[RonsterNYC]

I will make sure I sing him to sleep as well so that he doesn't miss his old home :hug:

by the way, does it have a name? I want to make sure I introduce him properly to the others in the sand box.

 

[aaron]

Ok Ronen, you're on. Did you want anything in that ginger ale?

 

[alrha]

Enjoy tha parade on your way over...

his name is Spikey (or Spike for short) - full name (for tax purposes) is actually Spikael - but we've never used that name, so he may not even be aware of it.

He looks so sad in the jar on my desk now. in the past 2 days he went from a 187 gallon tank, to a 20 gallon tank to a 1/2 gallon jar - poor guy.

i want visitation rights btw...:kidding:

 

[RonsterNYC]

How big is the jar? I also brought a container to work with some of my salt water to start the acclimation process....

 

[alrha]

ooh, sounds like you are already planning ahead to take good care of him.
Thanks Ron! - I just told him and he is really excited to meet you.

The jar is the 1kg of Seachem Kalkwasser (minus the kalk) jar - if you know the size. (maybe 8" deep and 4" diameter)

i prefer transport by jar than by bag as he gets squished around less, and can actually swim around a bit. of course there is the added advantage of opening the lid so he can get fresh air. not to mention to get to watch him on your desk all day...

ok, guess you left, see you in 10...9...

 

[alrha]

Great meeting you Ron!
I'm sure he'll love his new friends!

the first time you feed him, watch him, you'll love how he SNAPS up the krill from the surface.

and dont worry about the tangs, he's been living with two tangs in my tank, they dont seem to even notice him, he just minds his own business.

 

[RonsterNYC]

Albert - thanks for Spike - He looks great in my office and everyone is soooo interested in him...can't wait to take him to his new home later. Thanks again!!!!! Will keep you updated.

 

[alrha]

he must be loving all the attention.

i smell new memebers joining now...

just be careful, it's enough that you are on this site all day, you cant have your whole office posting on reef boards all day or there will be nobody left doing all the work..

I'm a geek - what can I say? :fishhit:
