I love my Goldfish...

So I'm in my office at work a couple of days ago, pounding out emails when my wife stickers her head in and says.

"Do you realize there is a bunch of pond snails in a Rubbermaid tub out here"

This would be one of the tubs i recently dumped full of pond plants. It's that time of year where I dump all of the stuff I propagate for selling during the summer. Now I just keep enough to keep them going during the winter until it's time to ramp up the production for the next pond season.

Anyway I reply with a concerned "Ok" not sure of her reason for mentioning it.

"Would it be ok if i put some of them in with the goldfish in my office" she asked. Never one to say no to my darling wife I said "sure".

Meaning no, but saying yes.

Well a few minutes later she returned with "You will never guess what happened when I threw in about a dozen of those snails?"

THEY ATE THEM

Not one snail hit the bottom of the tank,

I love my goldfish, doing their part to rid the world of snails

Steve

Oh my not the best of stories, at least not on my my end!  

Well, I suppose your goldfish and my tequila fish should start sending post cards to each other....they can rant about their daily snail hunt....

I lol'd!

Steve, was this supposed to be in the humor section????

When you go, bring snails....

Perhaps we can just bring Mrs. Benson some more snails for a different tank.

Be sure to let her know Steve, we have you covered.

I have been hanging out in Toronto the past few days. I just left a Big Al's location and I am trying to figure out if the black tip shark they have in there will fit in my carry on bag.

Probably not

Steve

Why am I not surprised to hear this?????

Is your salt tank up and running?

I have two small SW tanks running right now (55G & 33G) the 215 is still sitting idle. I have to get this thing finished, my Clown tang is growing like a weed and needs bigger space soon. If I don't get it done pronto, I am thinking of removing some or all of the live rock from the 55G he's in. When we got him in Feb he was the size of a quarter, 8 months later he's now the size of my hand.

Steve

The 215 is going to be wicked when it's finished. We'll have to have a ribbon ceremony for it.
