Subject: FIshless (no longer) in Seattle


:
:Having gone through a rather traumatic house fire this summer, I have been
:out of the loop, both in terms of keeping up with this list, (and a few
:others), and with my fish keeping.  I only have one tank set up now, and I
:have three species of dwarves in it.  I knew that I needed to get more
tanks
:going, just for what I have now, but after today, I think I may spend all
day
:tomorrow setting up tanks.
:    The defining moment behind this new found incentive was a trip to our
LFS,
:named, most appropriately, The Fish Store.  They are probably the most
:reliable source for Apisto.'s that I have found here in Seattle, but that
is
:not necessarily saying a lot.  What I found today was tank after tank of
:Apisto.'s and nice looking ones at that.  There was ( and pardon the
spelling)
:borelli, of course, but also caucatuoides (red and double red) Macmasteri,
:norberti, "breitbeinden".  pandurini, and several others I cannot put a
name
:to now, as well as wild caught M.  ramerizi and a few other goodies.
Perhaps
:even more amazing, the prices on most of them were quite reasonable-none of
:this $25-$30 a piece outrageousness that I have seen there in the past.
All
:together there must have been 8 or so Apisto.'s and 4 or 5 other dwarf
types.
:When I commented to the clerk about the bounty, he commented that most of
them
:were from local breeders.  I don't know who you are out there in Seattle,
but
:keep up the good work.  Not only was the selection great,  but they were
:really nice looking fish!
:   One more thing.  Does anyone know where I can buy sponge filters in the
:Seattle area?  I particularly would like the Tetra air driven ones, but the
:ones designed for use with power heads might be OK for larger tanks.  The
:names of any reliable mail order (or internet-order) firms would also be
good.
:   If whoever bred the "bretbeinden" ( or anyone else) could give me a
quick
:description of adult coloration (or a link to a photo on the web) and
general
:spawning/care information, I would appreciate it.
:Again, kudos to the people supplying the store, and to the store for
stocking
:them and keeping the prices somewhat reasonable.
