i went back to kings discus today!

Haha, killer. I was there after the game

Didn't see it when we were there the first time, but Kings has another Oxydoras upstairs, maybe 6" or so. Pity I'd taken the bus down, or I probably would have talked myself into it.

good thing i didnt go upstairs then lol. the owner(i assume he is the owner) is a real nice guy, we chatted a bit.

Sounds like the guy I talked to for a bit. Heavier-set asian guy, maybe mid-30's? Seems to know his fish pretty well.

Don't know why, but Liems store was packed full of people at 5pm on a Sunday. I had to wait in the alley to get a second look of the lungs he's got.
Not sure I agree with his assessment that a 55'll do them for life based on the fact they don't move a whole lot, but he was really interested in dickering on the price. Hell, he dropped $5 off the sticker price when I asked if he had others I couldn't see.

I'd better watch out, I'm getting ahead of my tank space PDQ.

Easy solution to that... Buy a bigger tank! There's that 240 down at EM...

 

[dmopar74]

wyldfya what was the name again of the place that could build custom glass tanks we were talking bout? do you have any contact info?

 

[cookiemonster]

How much is the 240? I am currently looking for a large aquarium and haven't had much luck trying to get tanks from Craigslist.

 

[Viverr]

You and me both. I talked to a guy with a free 180 glass, and he said he had more than ten offers to move it that day within 5 minutes of posting.

 

[WyldFya]

The 240 is at EM, you'll have to call for a price.

The shop that does the custom acrylic tanks is Aquarium paradise, the one that does custom glass is inter american. I'll have to find a link.

Are they just in Canada, or are they in the US as well? I looked up the phone number in the directory, and it's a Canadian number. It's listed as:
Bow Valley Aquarium

Calgary, AB T2C 1N1
