mr funktastic · 10-02-2006, 05:29 PM

lol u could probabably order a pair online for that much. there are a few members who breed them on this site. try a want add in the barter section, u might get lucky.

Vmax911 · 10-03-2006, 04:26 PM

I guess I could do that. Though I've never gotten a fish by mail before, and I am a bit leary of it...

Before I had a tank, I saw some GBR's at a Petco. Haven't seen any for a while, but I'm keeping an eye on that store.

I missed this thread the first time around. Congrats funk. I know you were looking for either some apistos or rams. They should finish out your tank well.

That is awful expensive normally. I see them for usually about $8 each here. Then again you have what I like to call the "canadian markup" or "exchange rate" for the lay person.

mr funktastic · 10-03-2006, 07:24 PM

well thats why i couldnt turn them down for 10 bucks a peice. espicially the way they looked. the colour in them just keeps getting better and i can see them picking around on the substrate trying to find a place to breed. i still want apistos lol. the "canadian markup is a scam. there is no way to justify the extra expenses that we endure up here. i mean the canadian dollar is only like 10 cents off the american dollar if that so i dont see why it is more expensive. oh well lol.

take a trip down to sarnia. A new LFS just opened up and the guy breeds show quality cichlids and dwarf cichlids. There were some nice cocatoo apistos(wild caught) got 49.99 a peice but i asked if he could order in some other ones that wern't so expensive. He said he could, they would be 9.99 a peice. Really nice fish. I could always buy some and ship them to you once he gets some. they looked like these:

I've purchased some fish off of AquaBid.com and been very satisfied with the quality and service. Of course YMMV.

mr funktastic · 10-03-2006, 07:46 PM

lol aquabid is useless for me. practically none of the sellers will send to canada and the fish would be grossly overpriced after shipping. i may just get u to ship me a pair of those guys. very sweet looking.

crazyred · 10-03-2006, 09:27 PM

Well, I have my Ram pair breeding like crazy so I hope you have the same luck with your pair! They look AWESOME!

mr funktastic · 10-03-2006, 09:53 PM

thanks red!! i really hope they make a spawn. i want something other than guppies to breed in my tank.

kostasonia · 10-10-2006, 08:48 AM

Good luck with breeding. I hope one day I find a male and try too.
