Thumbs up Aqua Hobbies

It's just a short drive up to Monroe Michigan from Toledo, but it's worth it!
Very nice livestock and the set up is great!

Take a trip up - you won't be disappointed!

I took your advice Julie and checked it out. Very clean store and the owner was very friendly and knowledgable. She even fed the fish I wanted to buy so I could see them eat. Good recommendation!

Here's a pic less than 10 minutes after he was in the tank:

What do you think I should name him? Scott says Dilbert - I said no way

I'm trying to think of a name for my little black and white perc I just got from Aqua Hobbies. He's really tiny and making herself at home in the 12 gallon nano.

Nah... Nemo is not a black and white perc. Doesn't fit.

My fish are all named too..... Unfortunatley the kids all named them after Finding Nemo.

Bubbles - Yellow Tang
Dory - Blue Tang
Nemo - false perc
Coral - false perc
Marlin - False perc
Zeeb - 4 stripe damsel
Bob - fridmani Pseudochromis

So is he named Farnsworth????

I think Aquaman is the odd man out

I just try not to get attached to my fish by naming them. My mom will come over and name my fish. I had Benny the Blenny, and someother odd named ones I don't remember. I leave it up to everyone else to name them. I just call them what they are.

Yeah, I'm with Jen. I was so sad when Sebastion ate Lennie. I'm still going to name the new blennie, Lennie.
