Incredible Fish in Calgary! - Aquarium Advice

OK all you Calgary people...get your butts down to the Shawnessy Petland [acronym:b4908238ab="As soon as possible"]ASAP[/acronym:b4908238ab]...I was in there tonight, and they have for sale a fire eel that is a good 26" long and almost as thick as your wrist. He is about $160 (or $120 on 25% off Tuesdays), but even if you are not interested in buying, you have got to just see this fish....he is beyond astounding!

Oh yes...I also just picked up a betta from Tanks-a-lot tonight for $3.99 that is a twin to this one:

Blue rams...long fins...bright colours....3 for $25 (plus that 15% CAS discount on top of that, so $21.25 for three).

They also just got in some tiny but stunning 'electric blue' Jack demseys.....$64 each, but just insanely gorgeous. Also, Apisto caucatoides for $10 each, and I scooped a trio of 1" Corydoras sterbai for a grand total of......$4.50! (they were in a discount tank marked 'assorted cories').

I have 3 pairs of rams right now. Trevor and I skipped Tanks today--we are too tired.

I won't be able to get the CAS discount until after this Tuesday..
