my first hitchhiker, ??

ok, so we go to a new to us lfs, aquaoceans in town
small place but owner has a great rep for knowing his stuff
we talk a bit, and just by the following of people coming in and hanging out,
(he has living room furniture in the place and a coffee pot running)
this is my kind of place. small, more of a store that is an extension of his hobby,
im hooked.

anyhow, we get some hermits and a couple snails, as his stock was low due to
NJ being a glacier at the moment

i pick a couple pieces of live rock, some fiji, he says $3 a lb! im like "yea boy"
he throws it on a scale, and it says 7.5 lbs, he says "ok 5lbs works for me"
im lovin this guy

i get it home, throw it in the sink, get some tank water and rinse it, throw it in the tank.

later on, i had to clean the filter of my washing machine, so im goin thru the lint to find the wifes diamond earing she washed, i find it, and something crawls up my arm!!! now mind you, i hate creepy crawly things, so im thinking ***? was in the washer,

so i find a tiny crab, im freaking, like how did it get in the washer? but with my boys anything is possible. so the wife gives me that "yo, dumma**" look she uses when i got my dumb on, and says, "uh, live rock?"

so i show the boys, were all stoked, i put it on a spoon, toss it in the tank, and BAMMM!!!! here comes my pink spotted watchmen goby to feast on some desert!!!

my 8 yr old cried! we were so excited for the litte guy, and i tossed him to his death.

o well, nature at its best. thougt i'd share our first hitchhiker (that ive seen) story

 

depending on the crab type...this was probably a blessing in disguise

 

Your fish may have done you a good favor

 

ha that is the funniest story ive heard all day, thats hilarious
