Yeah, freeze dried is kinda like junk food for fish, IMO. Still no ID on the flounder, no. Next time we get some at work I'll look at the bag and see what species they are, but that might be a while. We still have one in surprisingly, I just caught sight of him the other day, he probably...

You said what I was thinkin' :lol:

WOW, just look at those pectorals! That's impressive

$10

Sure, here are a couple of pics: Do you see any? Yeah, me neither :lol: There may be a lot, but they are so tiny and busy hiding in the new Java moss that I really only see a handful at a time now. Wait a few weeks and then it'll be an impressive sight, I bet. This is the best pic I have...

Looks a little shovelheaded in some of those pics, but not enough that I'd worry about it, personally. It's probably a byproduct of the spinal problems common to DTs.

Lol, I also breed mouthbrooding bettas and have bred angels before, I'm not strictly a bubblenester breeder... No worries, I have the good sense to research my fish before I attempt breeding them, and like jayjay said, these are egg-burriers, not mop spawners. ;) Most of my tanks, including the...

Sorry, but no, there's a lot of red tape involved in shipping to any other country besides Canada :/

High 70s are great temps for shipping, so long as it doesn't drop too close to 70.

Sudha is GORGEOUS, oh my goodness!!! And just look at that face on Shauni :wub:

Lovely tanks :D

:lol:!

My thoughts exactly -- do they live in Canada, or what? :lol: As mentioned, the only real difference is that Express is guaranteed to arrive within 2 days or you get your money back. As long as the weather is fine in your area, I'd just go with Priority, personally; usually it only takes 3-4...

My work has this sort of plastic cardboard alternative stuff that they have cut to size to use as a good on some of their tanks, it works great. I wouldn't know what that stuff is called though, unfortunately, or where to find it.

Not all species require brackish, there are a couple that are strictly freshwater I hear, though it's almost impossible to be sure what you are really getting when you pick one up at a LFS. The truly freshwater species are more rare in the hobby than are the brackish ones, so most of the time...

No, the stackable containers are Sterilite brand and made for holding CDs. They are just under a gallon. I drilled a hole in the edge of the lids so I can feed the fish without unstacking them, they are very handy :good:

As intelligent and successful as this person is, I have no doubt they are filthy rich to boot :rolleyes:

Where will I put the jars? Good question :lol:. Thank goodness they are stackable. I order my heat packs on Aquabid :)

Yeah, that wasn't directed at you, just a general comment :nod:

Still no cat. Monday the volunteer who was going to deliver her canceled (though she didn't say why...), and today Diva was coughing so they want to keep her a couple more days to medicate and monitor to make sure she doesn't get an URI.

And modest to boot! Smart and successful in your endeavors though you may be, you have quite a sour attitude when told what you don't want to hear, and due to this, I honestly doubt you will be missed if indeed you choose to leave. There are other forums more tolerant of that sort of thing...

Looks like I spoke too soon about them being unable to manage :lol: Sorry about the weird lighting, I took the pics from my comp desk so as not to disturb them. Look at that face :wub:

Yeah, I can ship to Canada, but it has to be in warm weather because the check at the border makes delivery time unreliable and the heat packs would run out by the time they arrived.

ezrock -- Albis aren't too particular about substrate, I just prefer sand, myself :). Besides, the flounder likes it.

Heck yeah, saved me $20 today alone! I couldn't believe what a huge discount they give us. We get free RO water too, not that I use it, myself.

Unless somebody wanted them as pets I'd just let the fry get eaten, I've got no intention of purposefully breeding hybrids as far as that goes, and there are plenty of things in that tank that would find them yummy. They've been trying for three days now, so I think the male is gonna have to...

The dangers of working in a fish shop... new fishies today. Here's the new dwarf green pike, Crenicichla compressiceps. I'm gonna gussy up his tank soon, with substrate and driftwood and all that jazz, but it's pretty bare right now. I went ahead and brought him home because I was tired of...

These two have a forbidden love... he a raja, she a fusca, yet an undeniable connection draws them together. They've been palling around for the last three days, attempting to wrap periodically. It is SO CUTE. I don't want hybrids, so it's a good thing the fusca is such a fat cow of a woman...

Just wanted to post pics of his cute little chipmunk cheeks, looks like the eggs hatched and he has a larger mouthful than usual :D. He should be releasing in a few days and this pic has an albi in it, so I'm posting it here, darnit. That's my flounder in the albi juvie tank ;)

There is WAY too much cuteness in this thread, it should be a crime! :wub: :wub: :wub: Just look at Jesse James and Ivy, how can you not love those faces???

Once it gets cold I have to ship Express and use a heat pack, so when these guys are first ready it's likely to be $20 for the first few (price goes up a bit with increased weight if you buy a ton of them), plus $2 for a heat pack. In the summer when temps. are high I can use Priority, which is...

So ugly they're cute ;)

Absolutely, I've actually never sold any of my juvies locally, so I do a lot of shipping. They'll need to be at least 2.5 months before that is an option though, preferably 3+ :)

Not at all really, she likes it because I have to sit on the floor to see them, which means she is free to crawl all over me :lol:. If I lie down flat she will lie down on my neck.

He looks like he may be biting his own fins, in which case you'll wanna cut down on stress (like from movement outside the tank) as much as possible first and see if that helps. If not, the problem may be the opposite, that he is bored instead and needs more stimulation. In some fish it is a...

Females can become eggbound sometimes pretty much at random. It's somewhat rare, but it happens. Basically it's when she's unable to pass eggs or reabsorb them into her body, so they just keep building up. Females are constantly producing ripe eggs, they just tend to rid their own bodies of...

Selling most of them, I imagine. Luckily I work at a fish shop now and maybe I can convince my boss to save me a tank once they get bigger... betta juvies, 2 dolla' :lol:

Oh my gosh, the "sweet and innocent" pic is the cutest thing I have ever seen :wub:

Oh my goodness, I am simply in shock. I knew she hadn't been around lately, but I never thought it would be something as tragic as this :-(. The world has truly suffered the loss of a wonderful soul, may she rest in peace. Freshmike sends his condolences as well.

Gorgeous, as always :wub:
