Have You Seen Flip? Reward for His Return
A large silver dollar, named “Flip” (Metynnis sp) was taken from his display tank at the Ultra-Aqua, on Sunday afternoon, June 14. Please let me know if you know anything, heard anything, or saw something on Sunday about this fish being removed from its 10-gallon display tank. Flip got his name by the way he eats veggie wafers. The owner is offering a substantial monetary reward for the return of the family pet silver dollar, with no questions asked. Contact me to set up an anonymous return of Flip: Text or call 330-524-3096; stevebbrunn@hotmail.com. Thank you! Program Chair, Steve Brunn
