I'll find some rigid tubing somewhere. I went to Wal Mart, Petco and Petsmart last night. Today I will go the one of the 2 LFS in town. One of them should at least have them like you said, in an under-gravel tube kit. As for the jerk that blew me off after promising me a female, well, it's par for the course. I'm over it. I was heated at the time, but after a little time to cool off, I have moved on. He will not build a thriving business treating people like that. I don't know how it is everywhere, but it seems like a lot of LFS owners are either complete idiots when it comes to fish or corals or both and are decent at customer service, or they are knowledgeable and keep healthy fish and clean tanks but lack people skills and customer service. There are some good honest people in the business too, but over the past few days I have dealt with a lot of LFS owners looking for my female Mandarin and it was astounding how many of them were just clueless and the other half seemed bothered that I had a specific request.
On a good note. My new Mandarin is starting to come out of his hiding place in the QT and explore a little bit in search of more pods to munch on. I'm gonna try and get a couple pics later. I'm gonna work on getting teh Brine Shrimp hatchery going tonight as well as construct the feeding station as best as I can. I'll post pics once I get everything done.
