A sad day

Im not really sure how that would work either. Im wondering if I could add a few of the fry even as tankmates.

Sorry to hear about that dude.

You can do it but the more often you do so, the more risk you run of problem fry in reproduction, like underdeveloped or missing tails, stillborn, etc....
I think first born match probably won't be too bad though.
I still have about 25 of these offspring of Ryan's that I haven't sold yet but I have been unable to ship them.
As soon as the courier feels the water movement, they reject the parcel for shipping.
I want to use full bags by using Kordon breathing bags but can't find them in Canada and the company's Novalek Inc. store won't ship to Canada.
If someone can find me a source to buy these Kordon bags I could ship some of these fry to Ryan. I need the 7.5 by 12" size.
By filling completely with water and propping the bag so it doesn't move around, I should be able to get by the shippers acceptance.

Hey rayjay I seen your post this morning ans did a searh and found this on E-bay:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=250526596445

Thanks for the link, but at $30 shipped for 25 bags it's too rich for my blood.
shrimpchips gave me a link to pricenetwork.ca so I registered and was confirmed after they sent my e-mail, but they don't let me log on.
The log on page just keeps coming up again reset with no explanation as in improper name/password.
I click on the help link, and a page comes up "no permission to view".
For some reason they don't like me I guess.

Thanks for looking Grizz. I did some searching as well and found another auction style site specifically for fish related stuff. It takes a day to get registered and then I can figure what the cost would be to Canada. The guy on ebay is pulling the old shipping and "handling" scheme. I disagree with people trying to make their profit this way. I once bought a poker set on ebay for $10 then figured out he had the shipping set at $60 US! A poker set is heavy but come on! I contacted ebay and was able to back out of the purchase.

Ray I will let you know if I find some at a reasonable price. They would also work good for sending newborn fry! I have a feeling I will see some more this week.

[The Grizz]

It was the first one I seen & I have no idea what they should cost. I hate that to when seller jack the shipping as well.

What is the site you found interested in checking it out

Ray can I ask what you sell you sea horses for, I am eventually going to get my tank up & running for sea horse's soon I hope.

A lady going by "firestorm" on albertaaquatica posted that she ordered from someone named "Ken" and I'm assuming he is in Calgary as she is.
If I can find a way to contact her, I could find out who Ken is and order the 7.5 by 12 that I want.
Anyone know how to contact her? I signed on to the forum but have to wait to get approved by an administrator.

I am on that board now and will look to see if I can find her. It might be Ken from Blue Water in Edmonton
