Re: BEACHES ECT
The Shop owners were overly helpful as they worked with Lizzy , Henry and Can, looking at the tanks.
Val was looking at, Fur covered Snakes, they and bands of colored fur that seem to undulate as the snake would move, as pretty as they were, thier faces looked harsh, like some kind of ancient dragon, though they were only a foot long or so.
The Shop worker showed them, the different sized tanks, some fish needed very little, others needed a lot. When Can was asked about the color changing Fish, he nodded in big nods. The shop keeper pointed two tanks out to them. One was 2 foot long 2 foot high and 2 feet across. He mentioned that a Lighted back round that slowly changes color, is what is needed for the fish, because the color changing is part of thier communications, for mating,warning, and telling other creatures ( and humans?) how they are feeling.
They are omnivorous , they enjoy a good insect now and then, something small, that might fall off a leaf or tree into the water... We have a special algae that you might be able to grow in a separate tank, they love to nibble on that... we have a feeding trough that can hang from the wall of the tank, and they will come feed....also?..the algae will try to 'migrate' from the trough? The fish will 'hunt it down' it is good sport for them, and keeps thier survivor skills up...
You might be able to get away with the next size down , tank?... But the bigger the tank, the more active they become as they seem to like to 'patrol' thier territory
This tank runs 100 creds? the fish...and we recommend 3?, so thier
reproduction is not stunted...2 of one sex and 1 of the other is a good mix to start...because of that, we start selling them at 3'Flash Fish' for 50 creds. The coloring changing wall, is 50 creds? but you do not really need it, if you can come up with something that is like it?... we sell a starter tray of the migrating algae for 50 creds as well... once you start the Algae growing in a seperate container..bowel or bucket, it grows intensely, which means you need to clean the tank and least once a week. her eyes shifted to Can, who was trying to soak all the information in.
The Pumps and such come in a kit for 25 creds...you do not need them, if you have something like that aboard your ship... all this is our 'hermes Discount..."
The group could see the Listing for 'Flash Fish at 100 creds each, 3 for 250...
