I have found in the past that peas are amazing at fixing a blocked up and bloated betta. I also find Bettas find peas irresistible. I highly recommend them from time to time

My 3 Aqua nova canister filters have been running for about 3 years no problems. There are a full range of spare parts available for them too. I recommend them :)

i just found a starter culture that i won in the SSS raffle over a month ago on the fish shelf. Surprisingly they were still alive on the sponge in the sealed plastic bag! Tough things!

Sent a heap more fancy bettas to auburn this week. People must be buying them :D

I do the international fish purchasing for an importer in Sydney. Ordered a bunch of fancy types. Was lucky that they sold very well lol.

I Picked out and sent those fancy guys to Auburn

Its funny how shops continue on with the wholesalers mistakes. Our new office girl assumed S/F meant sailfin as the sailfin mollies are on invoices as S/F LOL. Like the whole clowntail thing over again.

Dwarf gourami's (inc dwarf, cobalt blue, royal red or whatever every supplier calls them) are pretty much the worst and weakest gourami for keeping alive. Their colours are quite amazing but these days it seems they are lucky if they even survive the trip here and once they have finished qt 2 weeks later they just look even worse.

Maybe if you still want a dwarf gourami you could get something like a Fire gourami, honey gourami etc. There are also other cool little ones like Sparkling and Croaking gouramis aswell. :)

Got any pics of these? I love paradise fish and these sound nice.

Ive bred them before, similar way to bettas.

What sort of decorations are you looking to put in there? Give the oscars abit of territory each or something?

Alrighty. Would you like them this weekend some time?

Hey Lisa,

How many of them survived? Ive got about 20 more if you wanted to add some numbers to your lil colony.

Apparently all sparkling gourami's are wild caught in countries like thailand. Im pretty sure that the croakers are wild caught too.

Great work Vicki you are always so informative. :thumbs:
