sturnmeyer October 26, 2006 Share October 26, 2006 I continue to be impressed with the quality of livestock from BRK. I picked up a nice Powder Blue Tang in there on Sunday. The fish looked happy and healthy but I had no idea how much so. After returning home and tank acclimating the fish I found it munching away on the left over clip from my Yellow Tang and swimming laps around its new home within 5 minutes. I have never seen a fish acclimate so quickly. My fiance believes it was because she hugged the bag all the way home, but I'll chalk it up to some quality livestock. Can't wait to get the Hippo that I ordered!!! Thanks again!!!!! Oooppss...meant to put that in Vendor Experiences....please move if you need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosheikh October 26, 2006 Share October 26, 2006 Nice! I also got a Healthy Powder Blue Tang from BRK about three weeks ago. It is very picky once it comes to food, it only eats pellets and seaweed off the clip. Right now it's in quarantine because of a ich outbreak, but it seems to me that there is no more ich on the fish. Thanks again John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASaleem91 October 27, 2006 Share October 27, 2006 That's why I like BRK. They have healthy fish in stock which love to eat. I recently bought a flame angel from BRK and it is doing great. Fat and Healthy! Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeperofthefish October 31, 2006 Share October 31, 2006 I was at BRK on Sunday and as usual John was great. The expansion there is going to be incredible. They had all the dry goods I needed in stock, and a nice frag of zoas for only $10. Now if only they weren't a 45 minute drive from me here in DC... Oh well, it's nice to get out into the country--or what used to be the country before the mad development that has basically encircled Manassas battlefield!

Lee Stearns December 31, 2006 Share December 31, 2006 I too am particular about my livestock and BRK came through after a long wait with an Achilles Surgeon, a very sensitive fish. I looked at it a couple of weeks while he kept it on hold for me and fattened up to make sure it was not cyanide caught, and had no parasites. I now have it acclimated with My PBT and Blue hippo and they are finally not only tolerating each other, but doing great! Many thanks to John!
