Thu, 05/20/2010 - 10:56 — bookfish A long time local collector and friend of the store is breaking down his tank in order to travel. I'll be bringing the first load back to the shop late this afternoon/ early evening. If anyone wants to see the stuff I think the 5pm-7pm time frame should work. I'd recommend letting it all settle in for a day but if you gotta have it tonight I'll understand.

Fri, 01/08/2010 - 12:07 — bookfish Thanks to everyone who made it out to our party! It really felt good to see the local community embrace the Captive Bred concept and I can already see that the biggest challenge is going to be to keep the stock levels up. With that in mind I made another 50 or so frags yesterday and I'm off right now to get a dozen Bali mariculture pieces. See you in Berkeley! bookfish's blog Login or register to post comments You're not going to believe this, but it's true! Thu, 12/31/2009 - 19:46 — bookfish As I was getting ready to head in to the store today the phone rang.It was one of my local wholesalers claiming he had CB maculosus angels and CB bumblebee groupers. Now these are both large species and to the best of my knowledge, neither had been raised in captivity. So I asked my salesperson to check with the owner re: whether these were actually CB or simply TR (captive bred is a whole lot different than tank raised btw). The answer came back that they were truly tank raised. Believing this to be a near impossibility, I went over to look anyway and although I can't swear to it, it looks like he's right. bookfish's blog Login or register to post comments Read more Could it be any crazier? Mon, 12/28/2009 - 10:14 — bookfish Today is Monday and our grand opening is Friday. ORA is sending a big shipment today or tomorrow. Tomorrow the electrician is supposed to be in to up our amperage. We won't have a register or CC processing in place till after the 1st. I continue to bring dozens of coral each day from home to the shop. Quite a relief to think that soon all my coral care will be in 1 place....Ahhhh! bookfish's blog Login or register to post comments 1 2 3 next › last »
