Our cats are all exotic shorthairs, Arya, Griswold, Felix and Archie. And my redfoot is 6 years old, her name is Starbuck.
What's your favorite fish? I love all of my fish, but I favor my hippo tang because she is so smol.

Would you be interested in receiving livestock? If yes, what would you be interested in? disclaimer due to the busy holiday season we recommend not shipping livestock Yes, when we moved from FL to CO, I lose almost all of my coral other than mushrooms because the trip took much longer than we had anticipated and we arrived during a major blizzard. My tank was in buckets and totes for almost 2 weeks. I lost all my chalices, 2 torches, a plate coral, 2 turbos and all but 1 of my serpent stars. The turbos and serpents broke my heart, they were my oldest inhabitants, nearly 10 years old
