Phantom Day!

[seamonkey84]

Well, a very anxious day, as the package didn't arrive befor I had to leave for work(I had a friend bring it into the house when it got there). So now it's 10:30pm when I get home to start unpacking and floating the fish. My surprise as I walked in to see the box. Mind you, I only ordered one fish, and this is the box it came in!


Triple bagged.

And here's the little beauty!

Nice! Where did you get them from?

 

[seamonkey84]

Well the Black phantom I got through my favorite local/online dealer, but he's not a sponsor here and doesn't have them on his site yet. The black ice (the bigger one in the pic) I got from sustainable aquatics through my work (Petco, I special ordered).

[SeahorseKeeper]

Nice looking fish!!!

Beauty. Very nice fish.

Thank you. when I requested one with spots, I hoping for a standard snowflake pattern with a few spots, I wanted to have a nice cow look lol. But when I pulled the bag out of the packing peanuts I was shocked. I absolutely love him, but now I may have to get another one when I order my Wyoming white

 

[seamonkey84]

Grrrr my OCD is getting the best of me I think, I either have to request another phantom that matches this or I may have to pair him with my female snowflake for now. Seeing as the patterns seem to be opposite on these two pairs. My black ice matches he standard male snowflake while the female snowflake matches the male phantom. Hell if it comes time to breed, I'll have to re-pair them a over again setting things back.
Female

Male

Or... Who wants my black ice? Lol

Nice clowns, any combo pairing would be nice.

I see from your Nano-Reef thread that you've got connections with the CEO. No wonder you have such a nice specimen. It helps to know all the right people and manage the saltwater section at Petco... you lucky dog!

Well my Petco job didnt have anything to do with this purchase, although I'm trying to help Soren get setup as a vendor for us. But yes, good to know people who know people hehe.

Very good! I've got to speak to Soren about getting a nicer Phantom. LoL

 

[seamonkey84]

He's on Facebook and of course email.

I'm just joking... I know Soren. I asked for HELLO KITTY pattern for my granddaughter and I did get something close. So, I got what I asked for.

 

[seamonkey84]

Haha that's cool, pics of kitty?

 

[kmaintl]

I don't have pics, no good at that. But I do have a short video that I posted on the other Phantom thread by MarineReefer. I could post it here later if you want.

 

[seamonkey84]

Right, I've seen that video lol. I see the little kinda now lol that one has alot of white on him too.

 

[kmaintl]

My granddaughter is picky, she's a princess. LoL She says "grandpa, that's not HELLO KITTY, not even close! it doesn't have a nose."
