The store is just beautiful. The first thing that struck me was how clean the shop was. One way to know how much a place cares about its livestock is to see how clean they keep thier store. This place was spotless. The frag tank was clean, and full of coral. The livestock was very healthy a full of vigor. I was lucky enough to pick up a 6"inch Miniatus Grouper for 49.99. It is very fat and appears to have a great personality. Its nice to see a place that feeds its fish(especially predators) to where they are fat and healthy. I will visit Imagine Ocean again and cannot wait for my next visit.

agreed, it's a great store. Congrats on the grouper. That is a beautiful fish. Wish I had known that was you. I was standing at the register talking to Jenn when you got there.

Thanks for the kind words, Travis! Yep, those groupers eat better than we do! I'm glad he's settling in to his new home - I'm gonna miss him! :)

Jenn

whew, man that was close. :D

Rick - the big one is still there.

Jenn

lol thats why i said it was CLOSE.

Haha, yeah the big one was a little too large for me. Beautiful fish though.

jenn will kill me but thank you for not buying him. lol
hes my buddy. i want that fish but my tank isnt anywhere close to being ready for him. i dont want a grouper like him, i want HIM.
i check in on him from time to time. its funny how he seems to have a personality thats all his own.

Hey man I understand. I hope you get him, he deserves a good home.

hes cool too. i like him. if she sells him then she does. maybe i'll contact the new owner when my tank is ready. i bet he eats a hand full too.
you will be happy with your choice im willing to bet

Mine has been doing a lot of hiding. I hope it mellows out soon. I'd like for it to eat but it cowers away anytime I approach the aquarium.

it will chill. they did that sometimes at jenns too.
i got to see that dude eat. hes a machine. very aggressive
eater.

I bought him about 30 minutes ago...sorry











































J/K :D

ROFL - that was mean ;)

(But I like it!)

Triggerdude - give him a few days - he was in my shop for a LONG time, so once he's settled in, he'll be eating you out of house and home in no time. His belly was good and full when he left, so he may not even be hungry as such, for a few days.

Jenn

lol james is wrong for that. i bet he would like your setup though james. much better than anything i can do for him.

jenn that lil sucker will eat a load of food fast too huh?
makes a heck of a racket hitting the food floating on top too. you will think hes 3ft long by the noise he makes too.

My grouper ate today! I was feeding my trigger and the wrasse and the grouper came swimming right up. Wow, was that food gone fast. I'm definitely going to have to feed more.


I'm definitely happy with this fish, it is such a beautiful specimen!

like a freakin machine isnt he? i was shocked when i saw him eat.
you should post a couple pics of him in his new home.

Here is some pictures of my grouper and his inhabitants. I apologize for crappy pics as I am no good at it!

Very Nice! Love the trigger.. man I miss my fish only tank...

awsom fish the grouper is awsome wow congrazts.

He and all the fish come from different stores in Georgia. It really speaks to the quality of private LFSs' we have when my fish all hail from different places.


Golden Heart Trigger-Optimum Aquarium
Moon Wrasse- ermm well I adopted it from someone who didn't want it anymore.
Grouper- Imagine Ocean
Passer Angel- Warehouse Aquarium

nice

I really need to proof-read what I post. Half of my replies make me sound like I'm typing drunk.

Beautiful! He seems to have settled in nicely!

Jenn

beautiful fish. how can ya go wrong with a fish like that? :yay:

Ha, I don't think you can. That picture was with my horrible camera too. Someone who actually knows how to do take pictures could really do something special.

if you look at pic 3, you will notice the eyes slightly forward on the grouper. this is so they can look up better to attack their prey in the wild.
