The one monster I would really like to have again would be another RTC I miss my two footer.:(

I want an RTC aswell, but theres just no room, after it outgrew the 180 I'm building there would be realy no place to put it except for the 210 gallon pond wich is only 5ft across. :(

I started mine off in a 240 and @ 2feet he decided to eat a suction cup which killed him before I knew he was sick. The only problem with the rtc everything is food.

That sucks. Really cool fish, I may own one someday but right now theres just not enough room. Also on my list is Pima, but thats a long ways down the road.:grinno:

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I'm 14. How old are you? What school do you go to? Is the Westport jetty you're talking about that five mile trail that goes along the ocean? I don't walk that thing, I run it! Wyldfya, the only monster I'm looking for is an umbee.

We're talking about the end of the trail, the rocky jetty, walking all the way out to the end it. Westhaven -where the best surfing is, half moon bay and the Coast Guard Tower are there-the Jetty runs all the way down the reventment then out to the end of the boardwalk where the boats cross the bar-open ocean on one side. It's killed many people, we're adults joking about doing a very dangerous and stupid stunt and please DO NOT EVER try to actually do it unless you are in a wetsuit, with a buddy, surfboard and are darn sure you know what your'e doing. Seriously. I used to work as an EMT for the South Beach Ambulance and we went on some really gory, nasty accidents out there. OK, sorry, I'm done preaching, but it needed to be said.

Let's see what happens and what ends up in the plans-maybe next time I come to the beach I could talk to your Mom with you about MFK and tell her my experience. She has every right to be concerned, and you should be careful. Maybe you could invite a family member to come with you??? Someone they trust?? You're at a tough age for things like this. Feel free to PM me if you want to call or something. How funny, I lived out on Camp Creek.(Go Bulldogs)
Heard your Brand New Aberdeen High School Was vandalized, it made the news.
Thats Grays Harbor for ya!!!

A fall trip basin fishing for Salmon might be another idea....

Only thing I'm looking for is 2 fire eels. I keep hounding Village Pets here to get them, but they say they haven't been on their list of fish that are available. And Petco won't order them either.

Was at E. Wenatchee Petco today, half the fish are dead, a large percentage of their tanks are quarantined, hardly any fish are for sale, it looks bad. I will NEVER buy a fish there again after seeing that today. Deplorable. How can they do that? It just makes me sick that so called professionals can do that to that many little lives.

Very strange, I was just in there Wednesday, and everything looked great, and no quarantined tanks at all. I wonder if they got in a new shipment of really bad stock. Seems strange.
 
Hey mei, I think he was talking abour running along the jetty? I'm not sure.

I'm also a little worried about not being able to go to the Meet because of my age (15) but I did tell my mom there would most likely be another person my age (Cookiemonster, Jack) and that if I went I would have my cell-phone with me, etc. I might be hitching a ride from Frank if he go's and I'm sure if him and my talked or whatever I could go, or if its to much of a hassle I could just bring my older brother along as he Lives in Olympia, only problem is he might be working that day, he's pretty busy as he works at a Lumber yard and is an EMT working his way up to be a Fireman.

I really hope I can go though!

Oh OK. We're talking about different things obviously. Don't worry, I would never try anything dangerous like that. I'm talking about a 5 mile paved trail that runs along side the beach in the Westport area (I thing, I get all the beaches confused lol). Sometimes me and my mom go to the trial and she walks while I run. I did the whole 5 miles in 40 minutes once :headbang2 ! Concidentally, the trialhead of what I'm talking about is very near a hotel/restaraunt that has an awesome reef tank close to the entrance.
 
Man, I am having a really hard time deciding one wether to get a Jar, or a Dovii at one of the LFS stops on the meet! So hard to choose!:nilly:
 
Anyone that has issues of a worried parent, contact me either via PM or via email, and I can talk to parents for reassuring.
