An update video; 6 of the fish are from Dreamfish, two are from OTF

A couple updates on the order. First up, some of the fine Indoreds (both blood and chilli) Next, a look at some of the fine cross backs on offer:

This guy is about 9 inches, well cared for.

Here is a good video showing one technique for feeding raw shrimp to aros - using a thread! :)

I'll think of something more interesting for the contest early in the new year :)

Yeah, plus winter arrivals are always a little bit more nerve wracking. Luckily the weather is pretty mild right now in Vancouver.

Usually takes about a week from when I get the certs to the landing date in Vancouver. Then comes the trans-ship process, which is a whole other issue. Generally I have to consult a lot of schedules to find trans-ship times that work for everyone...

With the OTF order winding down, I am now getting ready to take delivery of some Indoreds, both chilli reds and VFSR. The fish are some of these here:

Here is a local delivery I made this evening in Vancouver (yes, I do home deliveries of Asian arowana :)

Also some stingrays!
