  1. theres a lady in the n.w. that sells long fin bristlenose^s, there real reasonable & in great shape, like jay said just get the females, her name is heather, home # 403 453 5066 cell # 403 973 6516,
  2. i know i^m not in the same league as u or the same time zone but i had a major wipe out a couple months ago, similair to u, i have a 75 fresh in my bedroom, getting ready to set up a 29g. shrimp, still in my bedroom, i used glass cleaner to clean down the rest of the dresser drawers, & the huge mirror, my tank was about 5 feet from the mirror but some of the fumes from the cleaner must of drifted over the the tank, & like u everything was alive & swimming right side up when i went to bed & when i woke up i l;ost over 7 different pairs of rainbows, it wasn^t a happy day at my house.really peed off,
  3. theres a guy on kijiji, in the n.w. i think thats selling a fx5 with media for $150, the post doesn^ say that much, but with a price like that, cann^t gowrong, i would myself, but have picked up 2 brand new ones for $330,for both,
  4. stay away from from petland, unless u like paying thru the nose they will bleed u dry, riverfront still has there 50% off sale every 2nd saturday of each month, don^t buy fish at big als, unless u like treating for numerous deseases, golds fish r always good, francos r good too, but over priced, pieces aren^t too bad, this is just my 2 cents worth, take it what u may. from my own personal experiences
  5. when i eat pickled beets i have red poo, is that the same? but i guess not as cute
  6. man oh man i would love that job, can u imagine scuba diving in that tank, everyday, & getting paid for it to boot, i would do it on a volunteer basis, just to have the opportunity, so someone buy this tank & hire me asap, come on people, hurry,
  7. mine would be a gigantic solid i piece wrap around like a huge homer doughnut, with stairs going up from below in the middle so u could stand in the centre & have a full 360* view, tanks being 3-4 ft. hi, & a 30-50ft diameter & about 3 ft. wide. come on lotto max, come to daddy
  8. like the old saying, opinions & assholes r alike, everybody has one
  9. i had a out brake of that stuff, used E.M. Erythromycin, its an API line of products, followed the instructions, cleared it right up haven^t had a problem since, didn^t harm the plants or fish, worked great,
  10. dang, i^ve had my 2 in a 70 gallon for the last year & have never doner anything special for them, haven^t fed them anything different except what my other fish get, now that u^ve said that i^ll most likely loose them now, ignorance is bliss, most of the time, the only thing i^ve noticed is they don^t take any poop from the other fish, saw him once chase the crap out the my big iranian red rainbow, that was fun to see, there either on the glass or the plants, & they have never hurt the plants just clean them,
  11. hi, don^t know if this is the right catagory or not, but i snorkel & dive in carburn park in river bend, in calgary, a lot, & theres an incredible amount of plants growing in the ponds, swords, vales, cobomba plants, both green & red, & some kind of tall sea kelp looking plant, some as hi as 10-15 feet hi, anyway, i was wondering if anyone wanted to get some, they all seem healthy, took some samples to wayne at riverfront, got his advice, but the only catch is u have to come & pick me up, i live just off mcleod tr. & 38 ave. s.w. but i will grab all & any plants u want, talked to the parks people they said it was no problem, especially the non-native north american plants, either write me back here or email me at rklee2020@yahoo.ca, so we can set up a time, i^m heading down there shortly,
  12. i recently added 4 kuhli loaches to my community rainbow tank & my wood & flower shrimp have dissapeared, i^ve missed them before but always showed up, but now they^ve gone m.i.a. for about a month & 4 water changes, not a sign not even a exoskelton laying around, so asking if the little kuhli loaches devour the large wood shrimp, i^ve had the shrimp for quite a while now, no problems till now, haven^t changed anything, same routine, the shrimp where all healthy, eating, wandering around lots, thanks for answering & helping,
  13. jason, yes those little spoons r very intimadating, they confuse me immensly, thats sarcasm, u gave me the fertilizers & proportions to use, very easy, to follow & understand,if i can read & understand what & how much to fertilize, then anyone can, & the plants love it,
  14. sounds like a whip tail, i have 2 in a well populated raindow tank, don^t feed them anything special, just what the little piggy rainbow fish don^t eat on the way down, have had them for about 4 years now,they compete with clown loaches, kahliu? loaches, & a goldy pleco, so i think these 2 have missed that suicidal gene,mine r doing great,
