So what is up with the blue guy? Is the fish store holding him for you? Where are your current fish now?

Blue guy is still doing well and still in the U.K. We are actually trying to organize shipping for him. The airlines for some reason now have been much more difficult to work with in transporting fish but it looks like UPS are going to take care of it.

My other fish/coral are with friends who have been kind enough to house them.

Have you tried FeDEx, it seems that the distributors over here use FedEx more the UPS

I know UPS do it. A lot of the wholesale fish stores use them to send all over Europe.
Problem i'm having is the woman in the Norwegian office has never dealt with it before so instead of looking into it she just told me that UPS 100% dont ship live animals!!

I wonder if you can speak with a wholesaler and bring the fish through them?

Not fish but any of you guys have reptiles too?

My little girl has always wanted a leopard gecko but until August they were Illegal in Norway.

Now they are legal I said she could get one. Being a fish guy I hit the Internet (as we do!)
And found that they are really cool and this was actually a nice hobby very similar to the aquarium hobby we could do together.

So I promised she could have a space and terrarium in the aquarium room.

Today she got her terrarium and is super excited to get it set up!

That is so cool, and I bet she is very excited.

It would be nice to see a build thread.

Awesome sauce, I’d love to see progress on that project as well. How’s the house coming along Mark?

Should I do a mini build thread of the terrarium in here? Guess they compliment each other

House project has slowed right down. Had an issue with one of the contractors that had to be taken care of legally so we are still far from finished. But we are still moving forward slowly so now we just use the time it needs and try and still have a life.

It would give us some bread crumbs for the time being
