Gabe

 

[shimanocono]

Southern I guess, I live and hour and a half away from toronto

 

[Pufferpack]

...an hour and a half from Toronto, where are you Oakville? Burlington? ...must have access to a lot of good shops in Toronto I would imagine.


...I lived in Hamilton for 4 years in the early 90's...my lungs are just starting to recover

 

[shimanocono]

I live in Orillia. I never go to Toronto to buy fish. I jst go to my LFS here.

 

[Pufferpack]

Nice place Orillia, been there a few times. Is there much selection in the lfs there?

...I gotta quit logging on after night shift, I'm even starting to mumble when I type ...what I meant to ask was: is there a lot of different lfs in your town and do they have a good variety of fish?

 

[shimanocono]

We only have 1 fish store here other then walmart but I wouldn't call warmart a fish store. The fish store is critters cove. It doesn't have a huge selection like the big fish stores but sometimes they will have a fairly good selection with some weird fish.

canada ontario, toronto

i have a ten gallon tank with about 11 fish. look at my signature for the info of the fish i have

 

[Thomas A. Anderson]

Hi Kevin,

Going my your signature, are you aware that your clowns and your RTS will outgrow a 10G tank fairly quickly.

Clowns ideally need to be at the very least 55-60G tanks.

Also depending on how good your filtration is, I would think you are already overstocked so would hold on with getting the corys. Just my opinion though

 

[kevin007]

whoops, i guess i forgot to change my signature! my 2 clowns died cause of ich and 3 neons got eaten in total!
