if you look at my post here, the convict goby was shipped why fear shipping the fish had to have been shipped to north america so why dislike the little bit extra to get it to your town

you will have to bite the bullet if you wish monsters or nice fish dude

i know... just bad experiences(560 dollar monster, victim from poor packaging...no refund or guarantee) ... what i usualy do is get them from my boss. he sets em up with a bubbler/heater in a large bucket, then he drops them off on his way home. ricks a good guy

So you took sand from the wild for your tank?

I am new to this site.... If the photos work, one is of my 9yr old
10" upside down catfish the other is my 40gal tall tank.

Sorry, I don't know how I put the photos in twice.

I do have a shrewd guess what the island is but I could be wrong. People here do have a knack for using fine white sand from beaches as substrate. It just increases the pH and hardness levels compared to river sand unless you're keeping sensitive specimens such as altums.
