Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello. I am SO happy to have found a forum with Canadian content!
We (my family) started out the usual way -- lots of mistakes -- 10 gallon tank and lots of goldfish for my son after BAD advice from someone who didn't have a clue. A few tank upgrades for the surviving and growing goldfish and we are now addicted to fish -- okay, I am now addicted to fish the family has no choice in the matter
I have a 55 on order -- all of the golds and the dojos will be going in there -- and a quote for a 375. Those two tanks and the 44 will be going into the "fish room". I have a LOT of work ahead of me though -- this is what I want to do with these tanks:

So, as you can see from what I want to do, things will be a while but, I was hoping for some advice from those in my area. I'm in Northwestern Ontario about 4 and a half hours from Winnipeg. I need a store with good, healthy prospects for fish to stock the 44 and the 375. I want three elephant-noses for the 44 and 3 bichirs (2 senegal and 1 albino senegal) and 2 peacock eels for the 375. I'll be looking for the elephant noses in approximately 4-6 months and the bichirs and eels in approximately 8-12 months. Hopefully you will have some advice on a reliable source for these beautiful creatures.
I have visited Fintastics in Winnipeg and was actually impressed with what I saw (including a beautiful teacup freshwater stingray, but if I spent $150 on it my husband would FREAK). But, I don't remember seeing any elephant noses or bichirs or eels. Does anyone know if these species can be found in Winnipeg? Thanks in advance for any advice or info. I appreciate it.
