AQUARICA – February 5
Update
C’mon
winter, is that all ya got? At the risk
of jinxing it, this has been a really mild winter. Good for kids (hey, no missed school), mom
and dad (saved hours of shovelling), and everyone’s budget (lower heating
bills!).
For
us, it has meant easier shipping and healthier livestock on arrival. Even with the styrofoam boxes we use to ship
fish and plants, cold weather results in more delays, colder fish bags and increased
stress on livestock. Stressed fish are
more susceptible to disease. The ‘warmer’
winter has enabled us to bring in a larger selection of livestock with healthier
livestock on arrival!
