Does anybody here know who/what this organization is? Anybody seen it? Worked at it? Shopped from it?

There are MUCH better places to spend your money. PM for more details if you're interested.

Yea all he does is trans ship what you ordered, thats why he only meets you with order, you'll never see his farm. I've gotten good and terrible from him. Used to be better then just getting horntwort and crypts at Petsmart, but, lol. Get with Forrest, theres a club that has great trade/auctions local and Phoenix.

I need to make a meet and restock too, after this batch of discus are a little bigger, they are dime size now. Anybody want four large Discus, one pair of which will breed every 2-3 weeks if the babys get eaten. Yet this time they raised 9 of them them in a 54 Corner with 20+ Emporor Tetras and 15+ Sunset Variautus. I want get rid of Adults and start over with the little ones.

Dont waste your time, if you google it will find several reviews that dont say positive things. I would hate it if you got/tried something and it caused your tank a lot of problems.

Yea all he does is trans ship what you ordered, . . . you'll never see his farm.

So, there's no supercool aquaculture facility just up the road from here? That's pretty much what I was asking. They've got croceas for sale, rare enough in itself, at a good price. I was hoping to walk in and check it out. But it doesn't sound as though that is how this place works.

Thanks.

Thread Drift, I thought you were looking for freshwater plants, now he's bringing in Clams?

Heres the discus adults I need a home for, 2 females and a breeding pair. See all the 20+ Emperors (they breed like rabbits) and 20+ Sunset Variautus, 2 other discus in a 54 corner and they still raised 9, lol. They been trying every 3 weeks or so for over a year now and kept getting a longer survival rate. This time they made a fort and held it till thay were Dime size

hey John, are the discus you raise in RO water or just regular Tucson tap?

 

[Tanque Verde]

I don't know nothin' bout fresh water.

But, I did find this sexy beast online:

Johnny, it was RO about a year ago, I stopped doing water changes to try and get them to stop breeding, no luck. Plan on getting the Emp's and Platies out, someone is giving me a trade for them. Gonna see if they give me a good deal for the adult discus too. Then claen up and replat the tank for the 9 little ones. I've thrown them in local water, no problem, discus are tuff as nails once you get them adjusted and feeding. Had the 2 females in one of my ponds last year, no sweat.

Tanque Verde, thats a nice clam, is that one he's selling? Haven't dealt with him in years. He used to just sell plants, FW clams, snails a few fish and shrimp no salt water. He never let you see his place, met you at the 7/11 o K by Cortaro aroud 4:00PM so you didn't have to pay shipping. Back then it was him or nothing, sometimes OK sometimes some stinking stuff. Funny, he claimed he grew it and fresh packed the night before because of volume. Open some packages and they were rotten.

Maybe he cleaned up his act and got into SW stuff, but I'll go to A LFS I trust for Clams, too many things that kill the clam you bought and also the ones you already have. Especialy the little rice sized snails and some virus's

 

[Tanque Verde]

No, I bought the clam elsewhere after reading the reviews here.

 

[sillygoose]

That's a beautiful clam - is it really as purple as it looks?

 

[Tanque Verde]

We's gonna find out in the morning.
