    OK, so maybe I'm not a Ninja... but I just got a second job at the LFS and today was my 1st day. It was way cool. I got to play with cool stuff all day that I didn't have to pay for. :) My next day is Thursday which is shipment day so I'm way excited about that. Anyway, I thought I'd share my happiness w/ you guys. ;D

    I love it so far!! I think they got sick of seeing my drooling at everything and figured they should start paying me to stay that long. :) They had a bamboo shark egg that I've been waiting to hatch and it finally did. She's sooooo pretty too! to bad they don't stay that small...

    OMG yeah it is!!! It's awesome, AND i can't believe they pay me to have that much fun too! I'm used to having to work my ass off for a dollar or to and they are so laid back and cool about everything. It's also great working w/ males versus females because there's no stab-you-in-the-back-pretend-to-like-you- drama. I LOVE IT!!

    YES!!! thats it!!! i love the no drama. i used to be assistant manager at hot topic (they suck!) and then i switched for this lfs job its no drama at all!!! i love it and karma 2 u all!!!
    the only thing is that i and almost certain that because i live in miami its a cheaper whole sale price.(cause we have alot of local stuff and the owner collects fish (not coral) because its legal when you have a fishing lisence)!!!

    wow! Thats awesome! I think all of our stuff comes from the west coast. Monday we got in a HUGE shipment that was supposed to come in on Thursday but didn't, and we got in 3 baby blue hippo tangs. OMG they're sooo freaking cute. I wanted one so bad but my water sucks at the moment so I couldn't get one, but they were about 1 inch long. so cute. then i could either get a bigger tank down the road or sell it back...(prolly get a bigger tank :) I think after i get my water under control i'm so gonna get one. my foxface is lonely... ;)

    [quote author=mushroom_man link=board=General;num=1109651560;start=0#6 date=03/06/05 at 21:11:54] live in miami its a cheaper whole sale price.[/quote]

    Only on endemics, which account for like 5% of the trade. The west coast has best pricing on any Pacific ocean or Indian Ocean item. We also have about 90% of all trade livestock land on the west coast 8 hours before you :D

    You'd just die if you saw what I pay for stuff :D BTW, what's huge for you?
