Ok, that's the kind of thing I was wondering. Thanks for the feedback and the compliment 😊

Well, it is a challenge. If I travel anywhere in Canada, I try to research any LFS's in the area and bring home what I can. That's how I got my EB Acara's and my angel. But I lost a few others trying to fly them home in my luggage. (I wasn't prepared properly, that was on me). I have a local pet store that has a very limited selection, although she did bring in some Congo Tetras that I happened to nab. I do travel to Kenora and Winnipeg for any decent shopping at all. I recently found a great LFS in Kenora which is 3 hours from here. I have a medical appt there on Monday so I will definitely be making a stop in at that LFS. I'm pretty sure that they will order in things for me as well. I have not tried mail order livestock yet. I have done plants like that but they suffered for sure. I tell sellers up front that I take responsibility for DOA's because it takes at least 5-6 days for anything to ship here via Canada Post. Even if you pay for the express shipping. It is a price I pay for living in paradise!! Thanks for asking!!

That's what I'm using. What is the reason that you would not return to that type of system again?

I have had these danios for well over a year. There bellies go up and down in size but this week that are huge...I am under the impression that they are egg scatterers but I haven't seen anything. I am not trying to breed them and don't care about viable eggs. Just wondering what's going on. My whole tribe (4 tanks) was treated for parasites a few months ago because I had red worms. I used three separate products as directed, at 3 separate times. No signs of parasites on any other critters. thanks for any input

Oh, please explain... Or is it addressed in the journal you mentioned? Oh, just found it.....thanks for the warning. Mine is waaaaayyyyyy more DIY than that even.

Hello from the middle of now where. Red Lake Ontario. (Google it...😉) I started out less than 2 years ago wanting a betta in a glass vase for some indoor color in the winter....Looked up "how to care for a betta fish" on YouTube and down the rabbit hole I went. @Coryyour nitrogen cycle video with the m&m's was invaluable!! I now have 4 planted tanks. (2 x 10 gal, 1 x 20 and 1x 29 gal). Working on acquiring more plants but because of my location it takes longer than usual for anything to get shipped here. Same goes for live stock.... My tanks are low tech except for my first attempt at DIY Co2. So far so good. I am addicted to houseplants so I am loving another way to do plants. I want all my tanks to be part of my living space so I may have to go up in size instead of number of tanks. I am super proud of my Electric Blue Acara babies. I have some that are a few months old and a new batch of free swimming fry this week. Enjoy the pics.... Having trouble loading videos, and sorry about the glare

I have 10 EBA fry that I just moved to a 10 gal tank to grow them out. They came from the middle clutch of 3 that my pair has had over the last several months. They are probably 1/2 in long, look exactly like yours. I wasn't even trying to set up everything perfect for them to breed but I am so proud of these fry.
