That is the 125 right?
 
Just a little...... East of me (Calgary). What is the Bichir selection in the LFS around there?

Not terrible, I guess. I've picked up 2 CB teugelsi, 1 CB delhezi, 1 WC senegal, and I picked up 3 ropefish last night. I'll post up some more pics tonight.

Sen was biting at the ropes a bit but everyone seems to have calmed down. I didn't realize when I bought them, but one of the ropes is missing a pectoral fin. He's getting along fine though. All 3 ate trout and shrimp last night.

Started treating the entire 125 (current stock: polleni, sen, 3x rope) for parasites last night by injecting metroplex into nightcrawlers. Only gotten the senegal to eat it so far, but gonna try injecting some cut up shrimp and fish pieces with the meds today as well. I did try soaking pellets but almost none of my fish eat pellets.

For those who may wish to try this in the future, inject the worm with the medication and THEN cut it. If you don't, the medicine will just run out the sides, as I quickly learned. Also keep in mind metroplex isn't very soluble so you're going to want a large gauge needle.
