Think that most of you might like this. I was at the beach yesterday to watch the shuttle launch out in about chest deep water when I noticed that I was being followed! I look in the water and I see this black and yellow square about the size of my thumbnail chaseing me around in the water. I reach down to scoop it up and guess what it was, a little baby blow fish. It was super cool and I wanted to take it home to put in my nano cube but I didn't have anything to keep it in and it was 2:00 and the launch wasn't until 3:49. I'mgoing back to the beach today to watch the launch (keeping my fingers crossed :o) and I am bringing a bucket and net. Maybe I will get lucky catch another and get to watch the launch! Wish me luck!

Man how cool is that free fish and you get to see something that awesome go up in the sky. How close are you to the cape? Can you hear it when it goes up?

Yeah I was out there watching the launch today about 28 miles away to the north in south daytona beach. You cant hear it until its allready gone, it takes a minute for the sound to get that far. Even from that far though you can fell the thrust that is coming out of that thing. Its amazing! I did catch a fish today while out there again. Some sort of perch looking thing. I thought about bringing it home since I brought all the proper equipment with me but just decided in the end that it was just to damn ugly to keep. lol

That would be cool to see someday. Is that where you got your fish from?

No I bought all of my fish from the LFS and saltwater.com. I like saltwater.com returning customer policy thing that they do. My brother and I use the same account so sometimes we can get some nice stuff for free
