Boxing Day Finds

[Jeff1192]

So.....what did you get during the Boxing Day sale?

I stocked up on some basics; Prime, fert tabs, food ect. I also got some Pygmy Cories and 2 Scarlet Badis for my newly set-up Fluval Edge. I also got some nice pieces of petrified wood for it.

I was really excited about the Badis as they were not labelled on the tank but I managed to spot a couple hiding under the rocks. I had seen them when they first came in a few weeks ago but my new tank wasn't running yet.

What did everyone else snag?

I got the Brochis Corys that I've been eyeing for a few weeks, a few Kuhli Loaches, a female honey Gourami and a pair (I hope) of Yellow Rainbows.  I also stocked up on dried and frozen fish food.

Salt. Lots and lots of salt.

Jeff, congrats on the badis. They're awesome. I was going to pick up a pair but decided not to because of the live food requirement. I have pygmy cories too. They're such easy fishes to care for.

I also have a Fluval Edge that's been running since January. It's a great nano tank. Let me know if you have any questions.

I've had badis once before. They ate bloodworms no problem so hopefully these ones will too. I've got some low light plants inthere now and I'm just considering ordering some LED bulbs to replace the stock ones. But I'm definitely keeping this set up low light (no CO2).

Picked up some Celebes rainbow and (hopefully) another female Metricilima flavifemina
Speaking of badis, if you're ever in Toronto, Pet Menageries had received some new rare badis, I think they were called sp. Tiger, they were very cool. This was a couple weeks ago, but if you're in the area might be worth seeing if he got more.

Got a 75g, a 16gH, couple of heaters and other random stuff!

Lots more cool stuff restocked last night and all sales are still on for the rest of the week!

We even found 2 more buckets of reef crystals

I grabbed a Marineland C220 canister for my pleco growout tank. Yay!

And I grabbed a bit of food for the same fish... spoiled this year! The rest of my fish are jealous...

Hope to see everyone the rest of the week!

Picked up the flu!

Temperature of 103 and a whole bunch of aches and pains   

[Nerine]

saw lots of Ovaser's at Big Al's and grabbed some fish food...yeah I'm boring this year!

[RoxyDog]

Boxes of salt and an adorable pink spotted goby.

Was that the one at Innes in the little tank? I almost bought it....

Ive got some of the badis and they are doing great, but mine dont think much of frozen food. The love microworms though - let me know if you want a starter culture. They are now in a tank with cherry shrimp and are likely hunting baby shrimp too.

They are beautiful fish with tons of personality. Watch out for dominance issues - the males are grumpy.

Got a 48" coralife light fixture (4x65W), some fish food and a pair of Delhezi bichirs. Unfortunately looks like both are females... But they are still too young to tell the difference. Still hope I have a real pair

Free hitchiker! Did you at least pick up a thermometer to measure your fever?

May want to pick up a third if you're looking for a pair, when they reach maturity in 10-12 years you'd me mightly disappointed to find out they were both girls


I stocked up on fish today. Chocolate gouramis, bosemani rainbows, a few angels and I feel like something else but I can't remember

Yep, he was at Innes in one of the smaller tanks...thanks for not buying "Pinko".

Don't....it hurts when I laugh.

Picked up salt & the bug - Now I have to set up the 75gal Eeek!

About the Badis ...
Congrats, they are one of my favourite micro-fish!

Exactly what mine used to do - I'd watch them stalking around in the Java Moss looking for a meal.

Agreed!
For such a munchkin, its amazing how aggressive they can be. Fortunately even a 10gal can be enough room for them to set up territories.
