I did a water change, gravel vac etc and the male is no where to be found! I'm not sure if it was fish TB b/c the male fish just looked really emaciated. I put the female in a different tank and she seemed fine yesterday but I couldn't find her today. I think the spine looks distorted in the pic b/c I had them in one of those round quart soup containers when I took that pic. The employee is the one who found the fish after moving some rocks around so I didn't actually get a good look at the male until I was home. They had goby's in the tank that looked ok. I'm surprised about the fish too b/c it seemed like such a quality LFS. It's the first one where I've seen regulators (milwaukee) and PH probes etc right where you check out.

Man too bad. I've been meaning to get some neon blue Badis out in centereach for $7. I know its a trek for most, but my parents live out there so it's not a big deal for me.

Looking for a good local source for Crystal Red Shrimps. I'm starting another 2 4 gallon tanks and require some new stock.

Hey I have some extra CRS that I can give you. If you want to come to Astoria, they are yours. You can see pics of them in my 5.5 gallon journal. I have from A to SS.

Best,

Sorry about your fishies, OoglyBoogly. It's one of the best stores in the area, too bad badis were starved or sick. Another possible factor might have been the ph swing from their tank to yours - their tank pH is 6.2, I was slowly acclimatizing a dwarf puffer from there for 2 days to my pH 7.2.

Ditto

Where to find proven discus pairs? And also nice CRS. I heard Win Tropical has them. Is that true?

[heydude819]

yup win has some crystal shrimps. I think it is $10 each

Petco Union Sq has a bunch of CPDs for the usual 3.99.
They also have a few cherrys for $5 and a couple blueberries left for the usual price (forgot what it is).
Unfortunately 2 or 3 tank sections have dead and sick fish but overall its not too bad.


Petland Nassau has big German Blue Rams for around $20 each

[heydude819]

$20 wow...Might as well just wait for Win to restock their tanks. They sell it for 6.50-8.50 depending on the size.

When did they have them? Maybe I will stop by tomorrow .

[xev11]

I went on the 12th at around 4pm. I bought 5 cpds and already 2 are dead and 1 is missing. (might be my fault but i did do about a 2 hr acclimation)

Well, Good new and bad news.. Bad news is that they didn't have any, and the guy who was there said that he hasn't seen any in the tanks in weeks (he could be wrong). Good news is that I probally saved about $20 or $30 from buying fish that are going to die on me
