JORG

Ya I still have them, looks like 2 pairs. They have laid eggs a couple times but I have not pulled any fry yet.

Not sure why but I can't post the list here from my photobucket,,,site seems screwed up lately

Yup it's mind boggling... I remember when a Lamp was a Lamp a Cichlasoma was a Cichlasoma and a Hap was a Hap ..took the time to learn and remember all the different species and families,,Then these smartie pants asshats come in every few years and change everything...not sure what there end goal is other than make sure only commom names are used.

I think the leopard bush fish would be ok with discus. They are calm and some what slow eaters. I had six medium size leopards in the same tank with 40 corys for over a year and never had a problem.

Yup heaters suck.They use a lot of juice and when they fail you can lose the whole tank. I only have three running now ,everything else is room temperature.

I prefer the Rundle . You can get that at Burnco and it is easy to smash with a hammer to get the sizes you want.

With metroplex you need to dose every two days for up to three weeks .With clout you usually only need to dose for 2-3 days. I think most fish stores sell clout , I always get it online in bulk.

For Ick and a lot of other fish problems I find clout to be the best.

Use one air pump and one heater for the entire room,

A couple of comments that hopefully will be food for thought for all of you;

1. There is only one side to this story. Perhaps these were new or sick reptiles he had taken in, we don't know. As for the rabbits, Wayne only sells reptiles or fish so I'm thinking they were someone's dinner. Also what is medical distress? Were they not fed, enclosures not clean etc? Quite frankly, I think Riverfront is an easy target for the SPCA as he's not one of the chain stores with deep pockets for lawyers.

2. Response on social media has been nasty. What happened to the" innocent until proven guilty" that we all abide by?

3. Riverfront is this man's way of providing for his family and his livelihood for many years. All this publicity will destroy his business and what will he do then?

Just my 2 cents!!

Yup I agree with everything you say...You should post it on Calgary Aquarium Societies Facebook page as well.

get shipping address.

they are located in the Baltimore greyhound station

I sent them a message this morning so I can have fun with them but no response... lazy freaking scammers

EK219 has 2 eheim auto feeders for sale. I will get him to pm you.

Been keeping Bolivian Rams for years and find them to be very hardy and healthy. Currently have 6 wild caught adults and they are thriving. I do a daily small water change with no added conditioner which they handle with no problems.

German Blue rams, a domestic species, now come from mainly Asian breeders and I steer a wide course from them. Wild caught Rams are another matter entirely, coming from a huge range of bogs and streams in mainly Columbia, Venezuala and Brazil. Out of some streams they are completely colourless and others highly coloured. Those out of bogs are often highly coloured, with every site offering a completely differently coloured fish. When breeding I have had some raise a good brood in Calgary tapwater, others required significant softening of the water for success to be achieved. Wild caught Gold Rams out of Columbia, while extremely beautiful , have proven impossible for even experts to keep alive either in aquaria or fish farms. The Gold Ram found in the hobby is simply a developed colour morph of the Blue Ram

South American exporters will often label W/C mikrogeophagus ramirezi as german blue rams.

Thanks but I'm looking for fry to put with my festae and ornatum growouts

Where did you score your Ornatums from ? It took me a long time to find the ones I got.

Saw some of those in the, lack of a better term "swamp", of our resort when we were in the Mayan last Spring. A couple beautiful specimens you have there.

Yeah I can't really capture their true colours with the camera ..but they are looking good. The female is getting redder with every spawn.

I need the tank they are in to grow out a group of Cichlasoma ornatum I got a while ago.

Hope you sell some offspring if you get them to breed. I have been looking for these for a long time.

Hopefully soon ..I have 5 the biggest is around 5 inches now.

any fry for sale, how big?

I have 4 adults available ..1 breeding pair , 1 male and another I think is a female. They are all about 9-12 inches now. I need the tank they are in to grow out a group of Cichlasoma ornatum I got a while ago.

welcome to AA

Do they have any fish with the flaming C available ?

I hope they don't Jorg and I realize your attempt at humor, it's just seeing the deformities and mutilations done to fish upset me. I've joined a wonderful bunch of people who are attempting to get the sale of dyed/tattooed/mutilated (ie heart shaped parrotfish) banned for sale in Canada as their isn't much regulations (as your probably aware) concerning cruelty to fish as they are not technically considered a pet

I was kidding, but seriously tattooed fish don't bother me much. I don't know I kinda place it on the same level as getting my dog tattooed except one is for ID and one is for decoration. I would never buy one as I think they are stupid looking but they have been for sale there on and off for a long time.

With this warm weather I'm thinking the small ponds might start producing this weekend. I didn't freeze much last year so I'm down to 7 packs of frozen pond mix.. will update as the ponds start giving away free foods.

I obtained a group of juvenile Cichlasoma urophthalmus last summer. Here are some shots of a busy young pair.

pics of parents with fry ,I removed about half the fry while they were still wigglers to raise separate.

pic of the pike that ate all the fry I left with parents

If your Cardinals are doing fine I can't think of any reason other than temperature or diet that would cause the corys a problem. I suspect you started with crappy stock. Perhaps try to get some corys from one of the board members here.

Males will get a blue face and orange body. There is not much difference on body shape , males are a bit more slender and stream lined when mature. If they are kadango's all the fins on females and fry/juvies should be a bright orange.
