Does anyone know of a distributor for Canada?

I do not know of one yet, but I will ship to Canada.

I have been feeding it to all fry, including tetras. Yes, they have to learn what it is, but that does not take very long. I have also been starting fry on the dry powder sprinkled over the water surface like a micro food or APR.

The gel takes 24 - 48 hours to dissolve in water. The food is excellent for fry because it is available for them to graze on for hours and hours. The specific application of feeding fry is what caught my attention right from the start.

What is the recommended storage for the food after it has been hydrated, how long will the hydrated food last in the fridge/freezer and do you know the shelf life of the powder pre-hydration? Shelf life of the powder is 18 - 24 months. In a fridge the gel will last a couple weeks, and in a freezer ...

About price comparisons... comparing dry weight Repashy to dry weight of a flake or pellet, the Repashy is going to be more expensive. But imo there is less waste and the the delivery system for getting the food into the fish is more efficient. What I was trying to point out my local clubs forums wa...

Allen Repashy is releasing a new line of his excellent gel foods, and these will be for fish! I think these gel foods are going to change the way we think about feeding fish. I posted a video in my blog about the food: http://tedsfishroom.com/2012/01/13/rapashy-superfoods-in-new-stock-shop/ The list...

We will hopefully have a PDF version of the first issue available early next week.

20120113_5615.jpg There is an interesting article about the potential for Hypancistrus species to hybridize in the first issue of the new e-zine Aquarium International, available for free download to your iPad through the app store (search Aquarium International), or go to the website at http://www...

I am getting that error in the Scleromystax species, but not the Corydoras species on the same list.

A fish seller who shall remain nameless in case this is a hoax, is offering wild-caught L46 from Brazil. THis person says the ban has been lifted.

Any truth to this?

C. septentrionalis.. I have a trio. Neat fish.

They are rare is the USA trade because they are illegal to sell in the USA trade (at least in most states I know of.. maybe Texas is different). The last Clarius sp. I saw show up in a store was in a box of tadpoles from a Florida fish farm.

Necessity drives invention. Check out the hatchery/incubator chamber I built. I have been having issues rearing C. panda larvae, so hopefully this will help.

pH 6.8 - 7.0 KH 2-3 conductivity 160 mS (80 ppm TDS) dish temp 74-75F (room temp in my fishroom) I have some eggs that have hatched in the shoe box that I had planned to grow the fry out in. We will see if they make it longer. One difference is that there is no meth. blue in the shoe box, but there ...

That is what I had thought I had narrowed it down to.

The LFS I deal with got these in yesterday. There was another cory of similar shape with different markings, but these were obviously all the same species and I could pick two males and a female. I have gone through the images here and on http://www.corycats.com a few times, and I have an idea of wh...

Not feeding yet... yolk sacs are less than 1/2 absorbed when they die.

THanks Cheri.

Mine are dying before the are eating. They are not gettign to the free swimming stage.

I have been collecting and hatching C. panda eggs for a couple weeks now, but all of them have dies a few days after hatching. I have tried leaving them in the containers I am hatching them in, and placing them in a grow out show box. How do you go about rearing larvae to free swimming?

They are at it again this evening. They are laying most of the eggs in a mop and a couple on the side of the tank near the mop. Pretty cool to watch. I am trying to get pictures...

The first spawn from my Sturisoma aurem fry are doing well. Here is a link to the log: http://www.tedsfishroom.com/sturisomalog.html I am raising the fry in different batches to see how they do. So far I think the batch that is crowded in a plastic dish are growing faster that the batch in a ten gal...

My C. panda have spawned. This is the first Cory. species to do so in my new fishroom:

I have a royal farlowella guarding eggs that are developing nicely. Here is my log on them: http://www.tedsfishroom.com/sturisomalog.html I have scoured this site for breeding accounts. I have kept and bred this species before (many years ago). I want to possibly try a few different techniques with ...

My royal farlowellas have spawned. Here is a link to a log about them: http://www.tedsfishroom.com/sturisomalog.html I have read through the information and articles in Shane's World, but I have a couple ideas that I want to get opinions on. First, this spawn did not occur on the side of the tank. T...

A half dozen C. tukano turned up at the LFS that I frequent. Any have any information on this cool looking species? I am leery about buying any because they have been in the store's rock-hard tanks for a week and they look a little rough. They lost a few too. Whenever I get cories from this store I ...

Can I get a grant to do a similar bucket study in Brazil? I want to see if i can find a better way to get a cheap/free collecting trip to the Amazon River.

Talk about a cool tank... A colony of adult frontosa and a few granny catfish.

Norman, your description of aurem and Shane's description (quoting Steindachner) are conflicting. The images Shane posted of the fish he describes as aurem clearly show a fish with a bulky body and a niticeably curved dorsal spine. You state that both aurem and panamense have straight dorsals and sl...

How can you differentiate between aurem and panamense? Is collection locality the only way? If collection locality is the only way, why would they be considered different species?
