From what I hear its ich

Some updates about the banquet and the fish show.

There is one member in Edmonton who is breeding these. He picked up a group from Big Al's last year sometime I think. He has put them in the last couple of auctions.

Here is some information I gathered about Jason Caumartin who spoke at the CAOAC Convention in Winnipeg last year.

Jason is the Western Canada Technical product expert for Hagen Pet Supplies, the world’s largest privately owned manufacturer, importer and exporter of pet supplies. Jason has travelled as far as Australia and New Zealand to speak with retailers and consumers about the aquatic and pond hobby. Jason has appeared on the national television show “The Pet Guys” and also on numerous radio programs.

I have no problems with keeping bristlenose plecos and shrimp together. I have a breeding pair of bristlenose plecos with orange shrimp, another breeding pair of bristlenose plecos in with orange shrimp and a third pair (not breeding) in with yellow shrimp and OEBT's. You just have to watch sometimes the pleco will hog the whole wafer of food that I drop in for the shrimp.

Mouthbrooders are somewhat easier, the males tend to have egg spots on their anal fin. Sometimes the male is more colorful than the females (eg. Aulonocaura sp.).

Others are more difficult, some south americans, the males tends to have more pointed fins and the females more rounded fins. If they are really young, then the best bet is to get 6 so that you have an almost 100% change of getting a pair.

Here are some guidelines.

http://www.edmontonfish.com/auction/

It is always a good idea to not feed the fish at least two days before the auction.

Use good judgement when determining how many fish to put in a bag.

Be sure to label your bags. Your membership number followed by table number. (Table number from 1-20), eg. 345-09 where 345 is your membership number and 09 is table 9.

If you are selling equipment be sure to mark whether it is working or not, if it is not labeled then it will be sold as parts.

I don't know if you know that the ACE website is not working. Tried the link from here and one from a search engine and it says site not found.

I do know that they grow very slowly. I've had senegals, ornatapinnis, palmas polli, endlicheri and delhezis. The senegals are one of the smaller bichirs, and usually max out around 12"

No there usually isn't, Usually there are around 500 lots from a bunch of different club members. And sometimes what someone plans to bring doesn't always pan out. At every auction you can expect to see:

cichlids

livebearers

plecos

plants

tanks

tank decorations

equipment

and probably a bunch more stuff related to the aquarium hobby

There are 10 tables numbered 1-10. We do a draw before the auction to determine table order so table 1 might be the first table up.

Some people might hint on this forum what they might bring but expect to see plants, tanks, equipment, fish and shrimp for sure.

Not sure if it is the same thing, I had something in my painted fire red tank. The shrimp had fuzzy growths in the head area. What I did was treat the whole tank with aquarium salt. I did that roughly for about 3 weeks. I did a water change using a different siphon hose than my regular one so as I wouldn't spread it to my other shrimp tanks. Then I added salt, I did this for about 3 weeks. I think I used the dosage guidelines on the box which was 1 tbsp/5 gallons. It seems to have gone away.

$50 per class and the classes are listed here:

fixed now

I had a cook come back from Thailand in November. He had a few pairs of guppies in his luggage. He had them in a small styro box in plastic water bottles and they survived.
