Koi Corner in the boonies of NE Florida (Palatka). seriously. you drive an hour into the boonies where there are houses with yards full of chickens and various farm animals and nothingness and there is this house that the owner lives in and the back half and an auxilary building are a reef store and the entire outside property is a koi/goldfish store with aquatic plants. He is a little crazy but has great stuff. He also sells his homemade salsa. ??? I paid $10 for it. I have never seen one before. I think LA might sell them though 2 2 Quote Link to comment

I joined a marine and freshwater swip swap group. he posts funny stuff like this all the time (mr asshole is the scorp) People would report him for profanity... and he'd post something even more offensive back because... he is admin. lmao. Its like if @1891Bro had a reef store. He is a crazy, offensive, hilarious old dude. So I asked where his store was and people from civilization swore up and down he is worth the drive and he totally is. And he cares a lot for his fish. I wanted a Lubbock's wrassse (most beautiful one I have ever seen) but he couldn't catch it in 5 minutes so he said "Sorry, its not worth stressing him over." I appreciated that because I have seen wrasse die from stress like being caught. I have been meaning to ask him if he can work on catching it for me so I can just drive down and pick him up... 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I like the guy already. Wtf is swip swap? Were you calling me old? I don't feel that old. I thought 35 was the new 21. That is what the kids say these days? ... I do miss the days when I could catch a matinee and get a Milky Way for one George, that's what we called quarter dollars at the time....... 2 Quote Link to comment

It might just be in Florida though, or you might be able to find local on Facebook. Does that make 50 the new 30? 1 Quote Link to comment

For all you young 'ens out there - life gets better in your 40s!
