If you're on a tight budget, search the Buy/Sell, Kijiji, garage sales, etc. If you find 2 AC500s, you're set!

Yup have to agree .. I think they are called AC 110's now

I hate those particle board stands ... I always toss em into the burning pit and use a proper stand. I know they are designed to hold the tanks, but with spilt water swelling the particle board and braces and joints loosening up over time I am not comfortable around them.

Don't even get me started about the inhumane society

I kinda like the mongrel. You should post it on PC and ask for an ID ha ha

that's a pretty good collection. I'm up to eleven varieties right now.

Ok here is an old one

Iranocichla hormuzensis

Was at Harolds yesterday and took a few quick shots of some new stuff

Nice size L-177

Large size L-253 ruby spotted magnum

Bruiser size L-47 mango's

Golden vampire plecs ... heterodons

Alberta born L-46 there is about 30 in the tank but they are all hiding inside the wood

Giant size L- 27 gold panaque

Some pics of the Brazillian Manacapuru river angels.

The first 3 pics were taken about 20 minutes out of thier shipping bags. The next morning they were covered in white slime and I had to treat them with a strong antibiotic for 5 days. The last 2 pics I took this morning ,they are recovering nicely and eating well now.

Few pics of some new stuff

Corydoras pulcher

Corydoras schwartzi or Super schwartzi's

Corydoras eques

dicrossus maculatus - spade tail checkerboard

L-134 leopard frog pleco's

Wild guppy from Brazil

Amapa river Angel fish also from Brazil

You could get a small horse watering trough at UFA pretty cheap and they are almost bullet proof.

I would reccomend you throw the pimafix in the garbage can-- and treat your corys with half strength clout

Guppy

Today was my 1st CAS auction was looking forward to it all week,saw lots of interesting stuff.But a scratchy throat and sniffles forced me to leave before auction started quess I will have to the count down to the next.Ron I saw that pcs. of driftwood going in as I was going out nice find.Did any shell dwellers show up just curious?

Haven't really looked it over well yet; by the cobwebs on it, I am guessing it has been out of the water for a while. I just brought it home and hosed it off outside to get the sand off.

yup it's been out of water for about 6 months if it's the one I brought

I'll be bringing some guppies, wild angels, apisto's, large chunks of java fern , sunken pirate ship, large driftwood and some misc. equipment.

Beautiful pictures and tanks,

Hold on to your hats. There is a big order of corydoras coming in very soon. Best be making room for more cats right meow.

That what I hear too.

They can easily be bred in an unheated tank, I use a 220 gal tub with a sponge filter in it. They pretty much eat anything and are really prolific. They are not seasonal and are available year round.

P.S The gates are shut and the sweet spot should be ready soon Cate.

lets see some pics

If you go to the Edmonton auction I'm pretty sure Wingin'it or I can bring you some

I collected quite a few yesterday found a spot where they were cruising by the hundreds in front of a big boulder.

Few more recent pics

loricaria nigrofasciatus - royal loricaria

I would stay away from any wood collected in an area that has been chemically treated. If you do use it soak it for a few weeks and do regular water changes on it. Along the the shore line by the Glenmore overpass is a good place to collect driftwood.

legal unless you are in a national park and as long as it is bleached out and old looking it should be safe.
