sorry mate India has crazy rules against live stock import as well as export, where a common man can't do such a thing, but there are a few people who do export natives, but i am not sure whether all the way to canada is possible

lemme ask them and if they do agree will give you their mail id or phone number.

whats the water parameter /temp of your tank set-up ?

 

[headbanger_jib]

its still not summer yet and winters receding thus the water temp right now is somewhere around 24-25 C.

about Water params, i seriously have no clue regarding nitrites nitrate and ammonia.
but the tank gets water change once in two weeks.

Ph is somewhere around 6.4

the tank is a 90 gal(4x2x1.5h)
has a very sturdy hood
the room is dimly lit, and the lights on the tank are switched on only when feeding time, in the morning

the auranti's unlike many other stewarti complex channas can take slightly higher temps
