DragonFish Fish Addict Posts: 518 Kudos: 220 Votes: 3 Registered: 10-Jul-2003	I have been looking at getting a Siberian, which are similar to the Maine Coon I guess, but they cost too much. Not sure if I have enough time for one at the moment either. Maybe in a couple years.

I got my little fish admirer from a list on the internet called "retired friends." He was a stud, came with papers and health certificates. He was not even 3 when I adopted him 6 years ago and I paid $150 of which half went to the rescue league. Almost every breed is listed, here is the link: http://www.breedlist.com/retired/index.html Good luck! It is a great way to get the breed you want while at the same time you help an animal in need

fishmonster Big Fish Oh My Heck! Posts: 329 Kudos: 88 Votes: 73 Registered: 11-Apr-2007	Sorry for taking so long to reply to this post. Scott if you check out my log on the 35 Gallon i had the exact same form of Wysteria or Difformis. It is an emersed in water version. What will happen is that the upper most part of the plant will grow towards the surface and the leaves will start to change into the submerged form of difformis. Any new leaves will also grow this way. Thanks for your input as always, Shane http://thetanklog.blogspot.com/ - [ Thanks to ScottF ] http://www.natureaquariumclubofutah.com/main.html

I think that is really great how they change. I took a look at yer 35g tank, really looks nice! I have to weigh my wisteria and anacharis down, they are floaters right now.... I think I will leave the hornwort to float.
