Real! Got to love those chemically enhanced sunsets! ;D Although, in all seriousness, I've seen some pretty awesome sunsets in my days, so I could believe it. Looks just like the most awesome sunset I've ever seen (Keywest!)

Sadly, it's not a fluke. In fact, the longest recorded whale shark living captivity lived over 9 years old (still far shy of the estimated maximum lifespan). I believe it was in the Osaka Aquarium. And, rightly, it doesn't surprise me that the whale sharks in the Georgia Aquarium are...

Depends on different things, but bubble tips usually seem to split when they're getting really well fed for a while.

I'ven never "sold" (we refered to it as "trade in") things to an lfs, but I saw this from the other side of things. I had a big long post about how LFSs do the math for a trade in, but I deleted it because it was really long. If you are truly interested in seeing the other side of how...

Well, you said it was a "novelty shop" and, see, this funny thing happened the first night I arrived at college. We (the girls downstairs) met our upstairs male neighbors while they were quite intoxicated, and they convinced us to go to the local "novelty emporium." I, the only Northerner, did...

*giggle* .... can I ask then..... what would be the moral of the story when my brother, the infamous Johnny Bass, tore his ACL after a gig while holding a random chick in his arms and drunkenly trying to kick his guitarist? Here's hoping everything goes alright for you! G'luck!!! And, if you...

I hadn't realized my livejournal membership ran out, so it won't let me put up pics. Will renue tomorrow and post crappy pics from the digi cam asap.

RANDOM UPDATE! I got the body and all the spines done, but the caudal fin, being kind of see through, is just going to have to wait until I can get more of the background done. Huzzah!

.... you could always accidentally discover that your home isn't technically a part of your town.... that it isn't a part of the United States... so you could form your own country! Huzzah! NJCR is now an international forum! ... although, it has often been said that New Jersey is like its own...

I would also try to speak with the suppliers he was working with if that is the case. If the previous owner of the shop has completely burned bridges with several distributers or manufacturers, then you might have some issues establishing your own business relationship with those companies. I'm...

While beautiful and utterly adorable (yes, I find vemonous predators adorable), I somehow think that fuzzy dwarf actually looks *harder* that my annoying little Fu Manchu. =/ Although, that's not going to stop me from admiring the color on that baby.

No. But I have given him a personallity and a voice rather like Strongbad as he mentally taunts me. Even now, as I'm taking a break to chat with a friend on AIM and rest my knuckles from grinding colors, he's staring at me..... its eye is kind of creepy.

Because it's there. :P If you're in the art field, they you should understand. They're hawt! At least, artistically. They've got exquisite colors and unique repetitive shaping. But, right now, it's kind of looking like crap on fire on a trisquit (if you're in the art field, maybe you've...

*giggle* Gee thanks. .... if I could get my digital camera working (*I'm out of batteries and too lazy to go buy some tonight), I'd show you what I mean. I've finished much of the head and the barbels, but I'm stuck around the gill plates, working my way from snout to tail. It is not fun. I...

.... why, might I ask, is the Fu Manchu lionfish so darned hard to draw and accurately color? :(

Lol, not all of them are that bad. Look at the three mentioned in these tales. A clown, a queen, and a blueline, argued by some people to be among the most aggressive triggers. I'll be honest, I consider them to be up there with the picasso (while others would argue the picasso to be peaceful...

... I feel your pain. We had a 6 or 7" blueline trigger that would play possum with us. When you stuck your hands into the tank to do a scrub down (ah, the joys of having to do a scrub down on an entire wall and a 300-500G water change, good times, good times), he'd dart behind the rock pile and...

I worked at an Atlanta lfs through college. Awesome job, and most certainly my favorite job (if not that- GA Ren Fest). My boss liked exotic and different fish to have along with our usual "bread and butter" stuff, so we often ended up with strange things lurking about in our tanks.

My skunk cleaner always seems to find that one cut or nick on my hand or arm while I'm water changing, when I'm not paying attention, and suddenly decide to rip it open. Ouchies! Other than that, all my personal saltwater pets have been generally well behaved. At work, however, there never...

To clear the air on something slightly off in that statement: The Georgia Aquarium had but 2 male whale sharks initially for the opening of the aquarium, Ralph and Norton. The whale sharks were initially kept offshore and using techniques from other aquariums keeping them. Ralph was a unique...
