Quick Update

August 30, 2010

I have got so many fish here, that I do not know what I am going to do with them. Last night I had a dream that while I was gone, my tropical fish had decided to swim away with my house.

I am still setting up more aquariums.

Had not made a post in a while cause I been busy doing other things around the place, cause before we know it, winter will be here. Some peoples seem to think that winter could come early this year. Time will tell.

Otherwise all of my fish are doing great.

Lot More Fish

August 22, 2010

Today I was given about 100 tropical fish. They are Fancy Guppies, Mollies and Platys. They are very healthily and was raised in this area. The person that gives them to me raised tropical fish for a hobby and whenever they get to many, they give them to me.  The parents of these fish came from me. Plus when they need a new bloodline, they buy them from me.  These fish are nice.

Otherwise all of my fish are doing great.

Cleaning Aquariums

August 14, 2010

Just did a 10% water change in 20 of my aquariums. The correct way to do a water change, is to siphon the water from the bottom of the aquarium. This way you get any uneaten food and any fish waste. Some peoples take water from the top of the aquarium, this is wrong.

Also clean the front inside glass of those 20 aquariums to.  Then I had to refill my 75 gallon aquarium back up with water, cause I used the water in that to do my water changes with.

Plus I threw out enough Duck Weed to fill one of those Home Hardware yellow 10.5L bucket. It (Duck Weed ) double itself everyday for me.

Well that all for now.

Tropical Fish Wholesalers

August 13, 2010

There is a lot of tropical fish wholesalers in Canada. Most of them are in the province of Quebec and Ontario. There is also at least one tropical fish wholesaler here in Nova Scotia now.

Before I open my tropical fish shop I check each one out, cause I wanted to deal with the best. The best tropical fish wholesaler in Canada is in the province of Quebec. Who are they, you ask, well I will tell you. They are:-

ABCee’s Aquatic Imports, 9615 Clement, Lasalle, Quebec, H8R 4B4  Their phone number is 1-800-463-4683  Ask for Jerry. He the one that you will need to talk to, if you want to buy fish.  PLEASE NOTE, they only sell to pet/fish shop that have a business name and tax number. They do not sell to private peoples.

Their prices are a bit higher than most of the other wholesaler but their fish is good.

Their fish are nice and their will usually be no dead fish. Once in a while you may get 1 or 2 dead fish in your order, but it is not common. I used to bring in as high as 300 to 500 tropical fish to an order and it was common to have no dead fish.

The trouble with buying from ABC is the shipping. Air Canada want an arm and a leg for shipping. Plus for me, it mean I much drive approx 2 hours one way to the airport. That four hours in all. It makes for a long day.

For the last while I had not got my fish from ABC  because my fish shop had fallen on hard times and I do not have a money. I try 2 others tropical fish wholesaler out, because the shipping was cheaper, but with one of the wholesalers, you get more dead fish than live ones, and for some unknown reason peoples will not buy dead fish. So I do not buy from this one anymore. I am still buying some from the other one. Their fish seems ok, so far.

If  business ever pick back up for my fish shop I will be buying from ABCee’s again, cause in my book, they are the number one tropical fish wholesaler in Canada.

Small Update

August 3, 2010

Just a small update to let one and all know, that I and my fishes is still here.

Just got done doing a water change. It seem like I do a water change everyday, but maybe that because I do. lol

Otherwise everything the same here.  Had set up a few more aquariums.

Well that all for now.
