      Village has been there for many moons.....going back to the Mike days.  Remember Mike the tall, skinny guy with long hair and mainly barefooted?  He was the previous owner before Roger bought him out.

      Moving into a larger facility down the street will be great.  Has anyone had the parent company Aquarium Designs make a custom made tank for them?

        Remember the "Ladies" Mike bought it from? I am not sure, did anyone else have it between Mike and the ladies? If Prosper sees this he might remember.  and Roger is not old enough to have been in his 40's in 1988

          Mike was the guy I was talking about - he was almost always barefoot

            More info...their larger quarters will continue to include FW and SW fish and plants, just more of 'em but they are really going to add to the dry goods inventory.

              LOL....I've met this fellow then...at a sidewalk sale.  That is exactly the impression I got from him, Obed.

                anyone here have their parent company in the Village make them a custom tank?  I hear these are one of the few tank makers that can get Starphire glass.

                      When I talked to them back in Oct. they said around Christmas/New Years. I signed up to the mailing list, so if I hear something I'll pass it along.

                        I need some shrimp and some new plants. I'm dying to see what they've done with the place

                          I called them a couple of hours ago.  Far as freshwater shrimp, they said they have amanos, cherries, and african fan filters.  I didn't think to double check to see if they had ghosts.  I specifically asked about freshwater shrimp.  I've been wanting a swarm of bees or crystal reds without having to order online.  I was hoping they'd have some zebra plecos too but they don't.  

                          The guy on the phone said they would be moving mid-January.  The shop hours are the same as what's posted on the new website - I think it was 10-7 Mon-Sat, and I forget what for Sunday.

                            If you find zebra plecos in a LFS please let me know but I would highly doubt it and if they did the price would probably be through the roof.

                            Village had a garage sale on the 9th with some really good deals on new/used tank combos.


                            RonR. If you find out if anyone had a tank made by AD let me know too cause I have been toying with the idea of a custom tank.
