Catch all category for general discussion.
What a great deal offered by Petco! Every year Petco has their $1 per Gallon sale and this year I picked up four 40 gallon breeder tanks. That a full load for an Isuzu Rodeo!
I purchased these through the Petco located in Troy Ohio. They were not in stock so the store manager ordered them and even though they didn’t come in until after the sale was over, I got the $1 per gallon sale price. Thank you Jesse!
I’m going to make some Poret HMF corner filters for these tanks so stay tuned.
A couple weeks ago, I was offered the opportunity to write an article about spawning danios. The cool thing about it was that the article was to be posted on Pete Mang’s web site. Anyone who has purchased fish on AquaBid probably knows Pete as Lotsoffish.
Over the years, I received some very nice fish from Pete. He really knows his stuff when it comes to keeping, raising, and spawning fish in particular. If you get a chance check out his site, and my article too! (http://lotsoffish.net/Breeding-Egg-Layers.html)
My local club had their annual Swap Meet a couple of Saturday’s ago. What a great time! And to think, I almost didn’t go. I had decided it was just too far for me to go, about 3 hours round trip.
Lucky for me, Cory the club plant guru, posted on the C.A.F.E. forum that he was looking for someone to split a table.
At any rate, I renewed some old friendships, sold some stuff, made some new friends, and had some great conversations.
I bought myself a Christmas present this year. It’s a copy of Pete Cottle’s “Danios and Devarios”.
It’s a fantastic reference if you’re interested in these fish. For more info, or to purchase a copy of your own here’s the link to Pete’s site… http://www.danios.info/content/book.aspx
What a great day! I spent the best part of today over in Columbus at Swiss Tropicals. It’s owned by my friend Stephan Tanner, what an asset he is to the aquarium hobby!
Stephan is the US distributor for the Poret® Brand Filter Foam & Jetlifter lift tubes. That was part of the reason for the trip over. I bought enough foam to put dividers in two 55’s and a 75. The cool thing about using foam is that it works as a filter as well as being a tank divider.
I’m planning on using the tanks for grow-out tanks for fry and this looks like a great option to get more bang for my buck when it comes to maximizing tank space.
