Happy Halloween!

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Loaches swim in search of blood

Re: Catching up...

Guesty! Wow man!

First time I've been here in ages and who do I see? I gave up keeping fish over 2 years ago.

Hope you and your's are doing great. Fond memories of our day out in London with Steve Burton all those years ago.

I've been in Toronto for 12 years now!

Re: Happy Halloween.

Doing good. Got married a couple of years ago. We downsized apartments and I gave up fish-keeping a bit before that happened. Sold off everything. I just lost the spark for it. Good to see so much interest in Hillstreams on here. Haven't stepped in an aquarium shop in ages and have no idea what's be...

Great steal on the crawdad. Auctions are awesome when there's nobody who has the hots for what you want :D

Re: Recreating natural habitat - River Tank variation

I believe that Kush is just voicing what many other members may be thinking. My reference to "further knowledge" was including things beyond the original subject matter of the thread.

Long Finned Ancistrus

I bought 6 of these little guys from a local breeder for CDN$15.

Eventually, they'll probably end up either in a dedicate...
