Didn't get a look at the paper that day - can you give us the gist of it?

Big article? Lifestyle section? It wans't this article (http://www.canada.com/search/story.aspx?id=9d08a2e5-2a60-4c4d-9d37-3061ca8b87d3), was it?

No, it's about local people......mentions Riverfront and of course the word "trendy" :eek:. Called "Just add water" I will save it.

It's about living art, wall-size aquariums and indoor ponds. Arrowanas with implants, etc.

Yup, some arrowana species are on the CITES list and can only be sold if they are microchipped and certified, hence the implants. Prices on these arrowana are astronomical :eek:

Not THOSE kind of implants :rolleyes:

The arrowana with the microchips cost THOUSANDS of dollars. Just talked to a guy at the lfs that used to stock them. He said the last one they had in went for $20,000.00. And that's not the most expensive ones they ever carried either :eek:
