livingart Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 low tide today net and 2 buckets a bucket full of jewels fishing was good 4 pipefish, a goatfish, 2 leatherjackets 10mm and a red moki 40mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Love the jewels - almost makes me want to have a local marine... Anyone know if you have a coldwater marine in the house with a chiller if the glass stays clear or if it gets condensation on it? Kevin likes to have the house rather warm in the winter, so it may be counterproductive to have one of these tanks :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwan Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Where do you go to collect them from? I'll be back up home in a week and I think that'd be a fun thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I kept a few wee flatties for a couple of years without a chiller. They are pretty hardy but the heat got them in the end. Caught them while hooking tubifex worms out of the river in the good ol days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
