Is that for your 300G tank ? Ingo Last edited by LITTLE_FISH at 12-Nov-2005 06:22 Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

It will take some time to grow him out & i think that you'll get some good money aswell. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

jasonpisani Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003	I give & recieve free fish regularly. I don't see anything mysterious about it. Lately i recieved some Buenos Aires, Black Widow & Pristella Tetra's, some Corydoras & 5 Angels, all for free. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
