Those borelli "red face" are amazing! I'm thinking about getting a pair myself! (I have GOT to quit being such a hobbyist!)

LOL at least you have the excuse that they could "potentially" be stocked in your store...

It's bad, Laura. I've always wanted a 100 gallon plus hi-tech planted tank. Set one up. Have long wanted to try a hundred+ Tanganyikan tank. Setting one up. A dream tank has been a 100+ small polyp stony coral tank. It's next. I've dropped thousands into "display" tanks, and so far people either ignore them or get miffed that I wont drain them to sell them a fish out of them!!! Hopefully I get some folks inspired to set up similar aquariums, but hasn't happened so far!

LOL

Sounds like you need to set up some "attainable" nanos too, to tempt the beginners and get them "hooked"...

Do you have the same species of fish in stock tanks that are on display?

**Blue Ridge Reef** · 04-01-2008, 03:53 AM

I really try to! Some of the stocked fish will either run out or be out of season from time to time, no way around that unless I decide to stock it with livebearers. In the planted there are only LF white clouds, rams, ottos, and glass cats. I stock all of those. But people have (on several occasions) said they want a certain one in my heavily-planted 125! And it's built into a wall! and the back is spray-painted black! I couldn't catch a certain fish out of there even if they were for sale!

lol
