Toronto/GTA Fish Meet #2 - Jan 22 @ 2pm

[boozybears]

thanks CFC

OK..so let's get back to the business of planning this meet!!

 

[Fiddlesticks]

So where is the big al's in oakville?

Free plant cutting to be given away!

I've got some limnophila sessiliflora (common name: Dwarf Ambulia) in my tank which has to be cut back - it's growing all the way across the top of the water now! Not so Dwarf if you ask me!

If anyone coming to the Toronto meet wants some for their tank, I can cut it just before I come to the meet, bag it up and give it to you then. From a clean tank (of course!)

About Ambulia:
This stuff is *really* healthy, it's pretty and it grows like crazy! All you need to do is shove the cut end into your gravel and off it goes!
Plant Position: Middle and Back, as a background or side planting.
Light: Strong Light preferred though I've just got the light that came with the Eclipse tanks and it's fine.
REMARKS: Use an iron fertilizer and keep the tank clean.
DESCRIP: Bright green fan like whorls of leaves on stems. very brittle. A very popular aquarium plant owing to its beautiful foliage. Most decorative when planted in groups. Dwarf gouramis will nibble and pulp this plant for material in their bubble-nests.

I've got enough for 3 or 4 people at least. As I said, if anyone wants some, let me know!

What time are we meeting?

I'd really like to avoid rush hour across the 401 on a Friday night!

 

[Fiddlesticks]

Hey purpledrazi - If you've still got some plant clippings I would love one. Iv been thinking about trying some real plants. This sounds like a great one for a plant newbie.

 

[purple_drazi]

ok Fiddlesticks, you're on the list!
and this is a terrific plant for a newbie... that's why I got it!!

 

[JDH]

Purple: I'll take some aswell if you don't mind.

I'm going to post some more details about the meet later this weekend, such as the address and stuff. I'm assuming we'll meet at 2:00pm again.

 

[boozybears]

2:00 sounds good to me! Does anyone know if the thread from the first meet got deleted? There were a few members from out Oakville way if I recall. Would be cool if they could join us too! Thought we could send them a pm if we could drum up that thread.

Yay for fish lovers in the GTA, I just moved here last sept, and I hadn't been back on the forums since that time (until now) either. so i was just wondering, how many people get together for these meetings?

[purple_drazi]

the 21st is a Friday and I can't make a 2p.m., I've got kids to pick up from school.
any chance of doing this on the 22nd, the Saturday, or after 7 (so as to avoid the rush hour) on Friday?

p.s. JDH, if I can come I'd be happy to bring you a cutting!

 

[steppy104]

am i near toronto? i'm 15 minutes away from detroit...

 

[boozybears]

I never ever did check the calendar lol.. think he meant the Saturday.

Would that work?

Steppy - you're maybe 3 hours drive away?

 

[JDH]

Yeah i meant the 22nd, sorry about that. I edited my post, and i added the date and time to the title.

Does anyone know what's near that Big Al's? We need to find a place to eat. Or we could always play it by ear.

Here is a map form their website of the location:

Here is the map from Mapquest to the store, it's basically at 403 and Dorval OR Trafalgar.

You have to click the link to view the map. If it doesn't work then i'll host the pic and post it.
