Finally I got a Dusky Jawfish!!!!!

[Acoustic]

I decided to go into Tri-city Tropical fish in Oceanside after working a 12 hour long long long day of stupid investigations. I have been waiting for this fish for 3 months now. I was put on the list at AW and they never called me. They wanted to charge me $44 if one ever came in on thier shipment. So today I got to pick out this one out of 8! And.......it only cost me $16.00 with tax!!!!!!! I am very happy! He hasn't made a home yet but has already ate like a pig.

Here are pics of him after acclimation:

i have been put on AW wanting a fish list 6 times and they have never called me once and or said anything about it. its kinda pathetic, dont offer a service you dont intend to honor. oh well they have been slowly losing my buisness for awhile now. there loss i guess. i still need to get down to tri-city and check it out, i have been in this hobby for 3 years and still have not managed to get down there. maybe that will be this weeks mission...

by the way very nice fish good mug shot too... those guys are awsome i may have to look into getting one myself..... good luck and happy reefing.
