Pistol anyone? Check out this son-of-a-gun

Hey Albert. Sorry couldn't get back to you. Been crazy at work and it'll stay that way. I'm getting the shrimp out on Monday. I basically have to tear down half of my tank to get it. I'll let you have him for free. Just come and pick it up sometime next week. I'm just glad somebody'll take it instead of taking it back to the FS.
Howard

Thanks Howard.
Monday I am off and wont be in the city, would tuesday be ok?
also, would you like some hermit crabs (i have 4 just walking around in my quarantine)

 

[alrha]

Albert, these are from the Carribean, so won't pair up with a goby.

Thanks Joe.
Why dont the gobies pair up with the carribean pistols? damn racist gobies!

Thanks Joe.

There aren't any carribean shrimp gobies as far as i know. Just like clowns hosting in carribean anemones.

Actually, it's the shrimp that's racist. My shrimp goby attempted to pair up with the shrimp and was ceremoniously kicked out of the tunnel. Remember, historically, the shrimp has never seen a shrimp goby.

 

[alrha]

cool. i wonder if putting another goby/shrimp pair would teach them that they are supposed to be friends.

Tuesday is good Albert. I pass on the hermits. I always catch them taking out my snails. I'll PM you with pick up info.

 

[alrha]

can i at least offer you this:

Just in case if Alrha cannot take care of it

LMK if you cannot take care of it. I would like to try.:tongue1:

By the way, do I need to feed the shrimp or hermits or do they have sufficient to eat from the LS and LR?

he he, i think he would be very happy in my 200 gal system and a nice sand bed for him to play in.
if you are feeding your fish, they should be happy with the leftovers.

Hey Albert. Thanks for the scraper offer but I just want to give it a good home. I can meet you Tuesday in the late afternoon. I work in 57th street Between 6th and 7th avenue in Manhattan. I can meet you in the area. Let me know.
I never fed the shrimp. It loves flakes. Jumps on them when they drop to the sand. It also hunts by poping his claw near pods and stuff and then grabs them. Poped my finger a couple of times when I was doing work in the tank. Didn't hurt but made me jump out of my skin!

 

[alrha]

lol.
ok, lets shoot for tuesday after work (6:30ish ok?)
are you near the B or Q train there?

 

[nanoreefkeeper]

Yea. The B train is Half a block from me. Are you taking the train here? I can meet you by the turnstiles on the 57th street exit (front of the train going Queens bound. Give me a call when you arrive and I run down to meet you. 212-581-3344. I'll pack him in a container but you might want to bring a insulated bag to keep him from getting shocked by the cold.
Howard

 

[alrha]

ok, great.
Thanks again so much Howard, I really appreciate it.
I'll call you before i go down to the train... (i get on at 47th st)

 

[nanoreefkeeper]

Cool. See you then Albert.

 

[alrha]

Howard, how about at least a jar of http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3511&highlight=zooplankton ?
it's not nice to come empty handed...

 

[nanoreefkeeper]

Hi Albert. It OK. I have a very small tank and I don't need much to keep it going. Please take the Q train. I think it is the easiest way for us to meet.
See you tonight.
Howard

 

[alrha]

Thanks Howard.
I'll take the front car of the Northbound "Q" train to 57th st and meet you by the turnstyles.
Again, I'll call you before i get on the train.

 

[alrha]

coming now, i'll give you a call.
should be there probably by 6:45pm... (hopefully)
btw, i am wearing a black leather jacket.

 

[alrha]

Howard,
Thanks so much for the shrimp, he looks happy in his new home, and you of course have unlimited visitation rights.

 

[nanoreefkeeper]

I'm glad it's moved into bigger and better accomodations! Nice to meet you Albert.
