Hoover : The One and Only!!!!

Now and then there is no live Brine to be found...ANYWHERE!
"The Pet Den" in Commack, New York has
the reputation of carrying what
no other pet shops would ever even think of stocking.
To describe Denise and Maurice as "exotic" purchasers
would be an understatement!

However, now and then the live brine is not delivered.
When that occurs I switch my spoiled seahorses
to frozen brine.
Sweetheart and Valentina tolerate it...
But Hoover...
The way he recoiled at one time with the
live brine is exactly what he does with the frozen brine.
My Hoover runs from it!

Once the live brine shrimp arrives I observe Hoover's behavior once more...
Amazingly, he squirrels away the live brine in his mouth.
He quickly realizes that the live brine are actually plentiful.
Hoarding his delicacy in his snout is no longer necessary.
The light bulb goes off and out fly a minimum of 16 brine he has practically been choking on!

I ask!
Instinct?
OR :
A level of intelligence?

After reading my posts there is no doubt as to what my opinion is!

The following photos are not so great...
They show...
or sort of show...
the seahorses...
especially my Hoover, eyeing and eating the brine.

I will try to get better photos at some point I am trying to go through my posts and make sure they all have photos...
And...
That they are spell checked...
And that they make some sort of readable sense!

Thanks for your patience my:
FAN BASE OF ZERO~~~OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

OK folks!

I SAID I TRIED!!!!!!
