HI Rick,,

Welcome to the list. This is a great place to get info.  I was really   
surprised about Apistos in Montreal, and I was like a kid in a candy   
store, ask George,, I had barely any self control, I saw fish in every   
store that I want!! I live in Ottawa, Ontario, and Montreal is less than   
2 hours away from here. And George is a great guide for getting around   
Montreal.

Thanks on my article. It is just a mini one, I still have to write the   
technical one. I don't get to write much in my job, so I'm glad to hear I   
did a good job.

I met Lee through Internet, and we send mail back and forth, about cat   
fish.

Hi George,,

I had a great time last week-end, George,,  John and I will be back this   
week-end also, so we will see you Saturday morning as planned.

I will be bringing you a little present of some Panda Corydoras. Your fry   
are all doing great, and Mom Cacatuoides is still taking them to bed with   
her at night.

The Hongsloi wrigglers are doing well. I lost a few, but have 24 that are   
doing really well. They are much bigger to-day than yesterday.

John want's to go back to that store, that had the nice corals, he want's   
a couple there. He also wants to go back to Aquarius for hard coral. Plus   
Octopus, for another soft coral. And maybe his order with Pet Nature will   
be in.

I will have the 20 panda order for Pet Nature in Pointe Claire, and I am   
thinking about picking up another female Borelli, they are really great.   
These 4 fish are just amazing. The male Borelli is beautiful, and his 3   
females, are pretty also. What I really like about these 4 fish, is they   
are really laid back with no aggression. I want to start a species tank   
for them. And I figure a male with 4 females would be just right.

I also want to buy those corydoras that we saw at Aquarius, that you   
pointed out to me. And hopefully Pet Nature found my female Agassizzi,   
and Bitaeniata's, I'll check with them to-day. If not I'm patient and   
will wait however long it takes.

Another member of this list, was over at my place to buy panda's earlier   
this week, and he want's me to try to get him a male/female Nijsseni, so   
I'll look for him also.

My favorite, fish shopping,,,,  Montreal here I come!!!

See you Saturday, George!!
