fish to Canada
My two cents worth,
Hi Zman, who did you call at customs was it the US or CDN customs, see their is no such thing as a Canadian Fish & Wildlife officer, there would be an officer from agriculture canada at each border crossing and if the fish are not on CITES they can go...
I just use the play or river sand sold in most nurseries, $5 canadian for 50 KG(112 lbs). I use it in most of my tanks planted or not. I have it relatively thick in my non planted tanks 2-3 inches.
I have never over 35 years of fish keeping have had any problems with aerobic bacteria problems...
earthworms
You can go one step further and propogate them.
Buy a lb or 1/2 lb of red wrigglers from a reputable
vermipost outfit and just culture them the same as white worms.
You will have more than enough worms that you won't know what to do with them in a few weeks.
YOu can also use...
They are commonly called California Blackworms, alot of pet shop are now selling them as tubifex, but they are a different worm.
If you check on the web that $ amount should get you a pound of them.

Hi,
I have used cyclop-eeze - all my fry love it and most adults will eat it also.
I have used golden pearls, decapsulated BS eggs, the Golden pearls work well, the decapsulated eggs never get eaten and fungus in the tanks quite fast.
For the smallest fry I have used...
Heh Mississauga
I am looking on going collecting also.
Ghana sounds promissing, also so does Gabon, I speak french
and it is rumoured that there are still many undicovered areas
in Southern Gabon, lots of killies.
Count me in for this one if you need help,
I am in Brampton, I can get a...
Hi Miquel,
The best thing to feed them is baby brine shrimp with any of the other live foods such as vinegar eels or microworms.
Cylop eeze, golden pearls or other samll flake foods will also work, but you may loose some of the fry.

Hi,

I am currently only dealing with Apistos and Laetacara's, but I have seen some nice Pelvicachromis lately at this store that have triggered some interest...
I have some sp. Morado, and some Papagei. The thing that I am having with these fish is that the fins on these fish are completely dissappearing, like they are being eaten by flesh eating disease or something. The Morado, get white fungussy patches on them but on the papagei there is nothing...
The waste water from an RO is ideal for hard water species. Rainbows, Rift Lake cichlids etc., why waste it. You can also use it on your plants outside etc.
Also the bigger the RO unit the less waste water eg a 10 gallon unit will produce 4-1 waste water so for every ten gallons of RO you...
Hi I am new to this list, most of the US web sites for Apistos will not ship to Canada. This is to all the CDN's on this list, I would like to get some Apisto. Cac. Orange Flame, are there any available in Canada or in the Buffalo area that I can pick up or have shipped. Also looking for...
