Just went to the LFS :) Got some food!

[siymdapolio]

I have recently purchased a Chocolate Gourami and I am just finding out they are super hard to care for and need live food.
So i went to the lfs and tried to buy baby brine shrimp with my debit card but the owner refused because it costs us both 50 Cents to swipe it and the baby brine shrimp are only $1.

He laughed at me and said get out of here and come back! I said Right on! I owe you a doller and now have baby brine shrimp!:19:

I know natuilus this lfs are awesome! They need profit and I support them they do have a little markup but not horrible and they have awesome fish and advice. I guess thats what you get for paying a little exttra

Put a piece of panty hose over the intake or they make special sponge attachments that cover the intake. If not that bag will be filter food in minutes....

[siymdapolio]

Hmm i dont no if i got any panty hoses laying around hmmm.... Is it ok to cut or sponge or turn it off and put in a little bit??

[Algenco]

I just turn the filters off for 5-10 minutes

Chocolates are harder to care for and very sensitive. Hope it works OK for you.

Thanks Sailor! I know I was looking at my lfs gouramis and their is a kid there that loves fish and i can tell. He looked at me and said I think we got a chocolate around here! IT will be perfect for you! And it took us like 10 minutes to find him in a small tank and he was staying so still in the plants lol!

IT was awesome and I love this fish too! How much are your store selling them for??? Mine was 7 dollars

Thanks Tolley! I will post pics up of the gourami soon :18:

Thats no good! An adult brine shrimp are a little more exspensive... If you want you can allways order the eggs online. It is very easy to start baby brine shrimp and growing them into adult brine shrimp is a COMPLETELY CRAZY TIME CONSUMING HARd way to grow your food lol just grow baby brine shrimp heres a link tolley
