I've just returned from a 1100km round trip (that is 10hrs driving) with the main objective being to get some breeding stocks... Visited 6 pet stores en route.... Did'nt get what I was looking for, but secured the following...

5 x Kissing Gouramis.......(All they had) - Terrible wasting obvious (one already died in transit)
5 Cloud Angels and 5 Marble Angels.... (when I breed them, I do not sell them at that size..... - babies)
1 (Red) sword Male, and four (juvenile) females..... They'd probably start breeding in about 2 months' time)
5 Albino Corydorras and 5 Mottled Corrydoras..... (also very small) -The Albinos were on my shopping list.
5 Good condition Orange Chromides.... Will probably start pairing off in about 6 weeks
2 Male and 4 female (Fluorescent blue) guppies..... (inbreeding apparent..... & not pure)

I'm so excited!!!
 
Fantastic - glad you finally got some fish :) Worth the trip?
 
Nice one Ludwig, i hate driving for long periods, sometimes i have to put Gran Turismo on pause and make myself a cuppa :)

Dnn..... Those are not even on my shopping list, cause I know it's extremely unlikely.... (But it'll be a damn bonus if I accidentally stumble onto them)
 
i guess you didn't see my post about mine dying last week.either of you get some please post pics.i sure do miss her.
 
Thats a lot of driving! Yuo must have a lot of tanks! Can we see poictures of them?

Yes Tango..... I've switched off 23 of my tanks due to unavailable stocks, & only have 17 running at this stage... I've posted numerous "poictures" (look at your own spelling)on previous threads & will do so soon again (Just for your benifit).....
 
Gosh, and I thought I was in the middle of no fish land! I have to drive 7 hours to get to Mexico city (not as many kilometers though, as it is a windy road partly. But then, I do get a reasonable choice: kribs, all sorts of tetras, kissing, three spot, honey, dwarf gouramis, several types of cories, discus, several cichlid species etc.

I will never complain anymore from now onwards!!
 
I drive 40min to the stores I like. I will be going tomarrow, I'm hoping to bring back some goodies :D. Hopefully the traffic is on my side (LOL like thats ever going to happen) Well worth the trip either way.

Good luck with your new fish!


By the way dnn3 your sig is huge for some reason.
