Burbot

Great fun as always and thanks to all who showed their support, especially to the out of towners who made the extra effort.

NLS has a food that contains garlic called Thera+A. Solved the same issue with my trophs. Melafix is a great med. for bacterial issues, causes a bit of a smell since it is a plant extract, but it works and the smell is gone once treatment stops and yer back to a regular water change schedual. :beer: K

If they are 10 years old there is a good chance they are hitting the end of their natural life span. The scales do seem a bit distended in the first picture which could suggest bloat, but without the huge bellies this seems unlikely. NLS makes a medicated food with traces of garlic which helps with intestinal issues but I really think you have healthy fish which have lived a long and happy life and met their natural end in a tank of a good fish keeper.

2o fer this Burbot please!

Not sure which fish you are referring too, all the ones I am looking for are African in origin... Altolamprologus Compressiceps Sumbu Dwarf - (tang, shell dweller) ?

Looking for Sumbu dwarf compressiceps, tropheus brichardi "canary cheeks", and teleogramma brichardi. If you come across them, please let me know.

Any 100% silicone works.

I've got one that might work. K

Fresh hatched baby brine shrimp seem to work the best for me. Best overall survival and growth rate. I try to slowly ween the fry over to crushed NLS after a week or so, depending on the species.

Awesome, simply awesome. :bow:

100% clear silicone, no additives, mold resistance, or anything besides 100% silicone...

Penn-Plax Cascade HEAT Fully submersible, internal glass tubes (not ceramic core) for better heating efficiency. Guarantied for life, if it craps out I take it back to where I bought it and get a brand new one, no questions asked. Note, I do go to one of the greatest LFS on the planet. Thank you Riverfront! Low cost is the clincher compared to other brands. What's not good---> hang on the back or ceramic core heaters. Very poor efficiency, the points stick and fry the tank due to condensation inside the heater, and anything without a temp control. Cheers :beer:

The fish club is definitely the best place to meet many fishy friends . Lots of cichlids down here in Cowtown too, CAS auction next week to boot!

Canada post is on the endangered list...kinda easy to see why.

Come check out the Calgary Aquarium Society if you have time on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. A few cichlid lovers there too.
