cwinson85 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Lucked out and got a colony of Id say at least 150 from petco today. I told the lady they wouldnt live long under their lights and she cut me a deal for 20 bucks. They havent really opened up yet, but they look redish in color. excited to see how they do! (clap) just thought i would share, not that many will probably care (scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Did you see what color they were before you picked them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwinson85 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 looked like a little red in the center of one... but im sure theyve looked like this since they were put in the petco tank.... in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 dang...want to get rid of a few? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Nice save........... but the only bad thing is now that PetCo sold them they will probably bring in more of them. Seems to be the way they operate. Sell something....... order replacement piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 yes it is a vicious circle. What is it? Sell one....order 3 more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 What Deathco did you buy them from, Tigard?- I'm in a saving type of spirit-LOL Poor fish/corals sentenced to death at Petco- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I would never... ever......... buy anything there. I would not support them no way no how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Every zoa i've seen at Petco has either sundial snails or zoa eating nudis. That looks sort of like a sundial snail shell in your sand in front of the zoas. Could be a margarita snail too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwinson85 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 its just a shell. pretty sure anyway, never see it move. guess i better keep my fingers crossed and hope nothing bad came with the zoas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Good deal. Snap a pic for us when they open up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snorkelwasp Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 they will buy more...you can save those...then they will buy more...then you can save those...lol i would recommend buying anything there and ESPECIALLY something thats not even opened up yet...may seem like a steal until it brings in zoa pox or nudis or ich cysts...then you paid you wipe out your tank...IMHO.

pledosophy Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The Petco in Tigard actually has a fairly nice salt water setup. They have shown the ability to keep many fish long term including a pair of maricultured reidi for more then a year. Further in there defense many zoa's can be kept alive under CF lighting for many years IME. A LFS having predators in there tank seems to be more common then not from the stores I have visited, which is why I dip corals and QT fish. I'm not saying all Petco's are great, but they don't deserve what is being given to them here either. JME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for any company that has treated actual animals and fish the way that I have seen deserves nothing but a bad rep and to not be supported by our community. I may be on a different page then a lot of people, but I feel that it is our sole responsibility to promote good care for the animals while in the ocean and especially while in our care. Good husbandry is in our hands and in my eyes it is no different then killing a cat or dog. While admittedly, I too have killed my share of live reef pets over the years, at least I have learned and changed my approach to better suit the animals.
