  1. It's always good to see the high quality Rainbowfish that you produce at our auction :bow:
  2. I know your weakness SuperGuppyGirl......mu ha ha ha ha :hey:
  3. Amongst other things, Hemiloricaria lanceolata, Corydoras hastatus, Super Red Bristlenose, and released for the first time this side of the Atlantic, Cb Corydoras boesemani
  4. I'd be interested in seeing the response to this as as well
  5. Normally maintained adult Angelfish can last for weeks without food. Temperature does affect their metabolism.
  6. Since you're going with a heavily planted tank I'd go with a black HMF with the heater in behind it.
  7. Good discussion. A point to remember is that there are organizations out there that would like nothing better than to ban all pets from human possession. Feasible or not it, it might be wise for the industry as a whole to consider regulating itself in whatever way that means, before the ill-informed politicians and these zealous organizations stumble into the scene with their misguided influence. This scenario is already playing itself out in other jurisdictions in Europe and North America.
  8. ~30-40 egg average spawn, once per month, usually in the first days following a water change
  9. The juvies and adults are easy to care for, raising a brood is hard work, and most people are lucky or very very good if they can raise 40% of a brood to juvies.
  10. To add to that NO species of snakehead would survive prairie waters. Native species from the USA can't survive in our prairie waters. This whole snakehead phobia is a media-hyped hysteria gone amok. Proof once again that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
  11. In my extensive experience of selling my CB fish to stores all over Alberta (30+years), local bred do last long in most fish stores.
  12. I know what they are, I bred them years ago. I just hadn't seen them in a while. Nice to see that Franco's have them.
  13. IME the majority of fish are definitely more at ease over a dark bottom. A bright bottom is not natural to them and so they don't display their most definitive colors, and the rebounding light off the bottom will wash them out to a certain extent. Certainly the mixed tans of the "natural" gravel are better than a stark white, with darker colored bottom layers even better.
  14. Actually there was one person in ACE years ago who was having success breeding them and raising fry. Not me.. :cry:
  15. Big Al's here in Edmonton has sexable young adults for sale
  16. As a rule, there isn't mini-auctions at ACE meetings. There is a generous raffle.
  17. Congratulations! They are cute little devils.
  18. Mine all have sponges on the intakes which I squeeze out occasionally when I do water changes, the canister itself once a year maybe more.
