Hey folks.... I made my little trip up to Canada to my Montreal Aquarium Society meeting last night to see Gary Elson give a presentation on keeping Apistogramma.... Very nice talk Gary!! I did keep getting the "evil look" every time he talked about keeping "bare bottomed tanks" as opposed to "HIS" natural planted set ups.... Maybe it's just me feeling guilty here. 8-) Anyways.... I managed to help some really neat fish seek Asylum from Canada and Oliver Lucanus..... Of course there was a substanial fee involved in this.. but i helped: Apistogramma Elizabethae Apistogramma Inca Apistogramma Norberti Apistogramma Bitaeniata Apistogramma Nijsenni Apistogramma Meinkeni Apistogramma Agassizi Alenquer Apistogramma Cacatuoides Orange Flash They all were seeking to escape Canada.... which they did, but are now held captive in my house!!!! Maybe come spring time ( i know , what the hell is springtime?? We dont get one of them up here) I can release some of their potential offspring.... Too bad for some others I didnt have the room to help them escape... There was some beautiful other apistos begging me for help..... Maybe on the next trip over the border.......8-) Tundra Johnny...... only -4F now... but going down to -20something tonight....... again!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
