Cas Auction October 2
AvianAquatics replied to fishclubgirl's topic in Calgary Aquarium Society (CAS)
Well, volunteering tomorrow as usual But this time got less friends with me, only me and someone else is going, so I doubt we'd be able to help out the concession this year. And hopefully I'm not gonna spill someone's coffee, or drop a fish or tank this year -
The International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest

Agree, and those masterpieces look impossible to do, so awesome! -
Wow congrats! And you must have a lot of space to keep so many...
-
Nope and probably will not either. But I think Calgary and Edmonton may have a bit of an advantage when it comes to Sulawesi shrimps due to our naturally hard water, but thats just a hypothesis.

Welcome! I'm from NW too

I find if you ignore them, the next thing you know they'd overtake your tank They do grow pretty slowly, but like the previous posts said, if you attach them to woods and other objects I do find them grow just a bit faster.

Eh I don't like dead stuff, they stink

Yep had some. If I remember correctly the red nosed ones also had a red strip running down their back (male), and the no stripped ones had a shorter and yellowish nose (female), I think. They are interesting to watch but beware they LOVE eating plants. Websites say they only eat your plants if you don't feed them enough algae food but I do, still they munched down my plants and esp liked my hygrophila angustifolia, and even my Javas lost a few leaves. Personally I didn't have a good experience with them lol.

Wow no those fish are AMAZING! It's been a LONG time since I last fell in love :P
-
Oh, occasionally I see them at Safe-way or Coop? You might be luck if you find some grocery shopping.

Welcome Anna! And I just LOVE that Red looking Tiger? (last pic) Its just so beautiful!!!
-
Welcome And good luck with Ich! In my experience the only fish that have actually died of it are my Chocolate Gouramis, most of the fish you have are fairly hardy so I'd say they would pull through just fine
-
Yep thatnks Anna Shrimps arrived beautifully today with full color! Definitely looking to get some Blacks off you in the future
-
Ahhhh that shrimp looks very familiar. I'm pretty sure it's a neocardinia shrimp meaning it will breed with cherries. I few yrs back I brought a few blue shrimp that had a very similar color as the one you posted but full blue body color and it interbred with my cherries even now I get a few blue purple ones popping up :/. Can't do much right now but wait and see as they grow
