rwong2k Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi Everyone, My name is Ray and I'm from the greater vancouver area. I've kept neo's and crs for the past almost 10+ years and I had sulawesi cardinals before (about 9 years ago) but had to give them to someone due to life getting busy. But I'm back in action. I'm mainly a planted guy but set up 3 x 10 gallons for my sulawesi cardinals. getting harelquins and white orchids in a few weeks time. Here are some of my photos Love this site!

Shrimp lady Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Your tanks look like something like what a German Aquarist would have in a office or zoo. Spectacular indeed!!! Which Vancouver are you from??? rwong2k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Welcome fellow Canadian. Love those Cardinals. Finally we have a local breeder of Harlequins...these were the hardest to keep and in my opinion the most beautiful. May I ask who the breeder is? I am looking at starting a Sulawesi tank in the near future and would love to get some of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwong2k Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 oh i'm in vancouver,bc canada. I'm not too sure who the breeder is as i got the, through Canadian aquatics, he wont reveal his source, which makes sense, then he wont get his cut as a middle man if I go direct I've located a guy named Tim in Richmond who sells them and there's a guy named Ken in Gibsons who has them. There should be a guy named Frank who used to sell them but he's gone Mia. hope that helps Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking at starting a Sulawesi tank in the near future and would love to get some of these. just curious where approx are you? maybe we can trade shrimp later on? I'll be getting some harlequins, hopefully this week, but the white orchids, I've been told is being shipped from back east. There's another source for harlequins which they also won't reveal to me but also getting shipped here. So I'll be getting harlequins from two sources, one local and one somewhere I have no idea. Apparently the local bred ones have been adapted to our waters or close to it and I've been told they're f5+ so they're more used to our waters but I believe they use saltyshrimp 7.5 mix. Vancouver water out of the tap is pH6.8 and tds around 5, so very close to RO water. hope that helps Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimp lady Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Rwongtk, MY club's Auctioneer (Phil) comes up your way once a year and does your local clubs' aquatic auction as well! He wears a "Kilt" like your club guy does... L.O.L. Great shrimp I'd love to get ahold of some Cardinals as well... My well water here is just perfect for them too , I love your plants as well but don't do Co2 either... Great Flickr page too rwong2k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Im in Ontario. Yes for sure I can trade once I have something to sell. Right now I am just starting over with my Pinto project. I have spotted headed mischlings and zebra pintos in red and black. I used to have a lot of tanks and sold shrimps regularly to lots of people all over Canada, but downsized after I moved to another City. I am looking at setting up a Sulawesi tank sometime in March, so will get in contact with you then and get the contact info from you for the Harlequins. Yes getting them to adapt to our PH was always the problem, glad that has been rectified with the new generation as they will be stronger. rwong2k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
