Saludos.
 
Mostly the caribean, the mexican caribean its part of the second largest reef after Australia´s, it extends from the mexican caribean to Belice, Guatemala and el Salvador.

Yes it is full of corals, I´ve seen mostly sea fans, and lots of life, I guess one of the most popular corals its the green pocilopora and sun corals which grow in many parts of Mexico, although coral extraction is prohibited and so there´s no such thing as sea farming etc. So there could be thousands of beautiful corals to bring into the trade, but it hasn´t been done, so we get most of our corals from american, asian, and australian trade.

Definitivamente no fue el tanque, yo sufro mucho de alergias y me recomiendan ir a la playa seguido, el aire limpio y la sal ayudan mucho a descongestionar. En algun tiempo me hacia lavados en la nariz con agua salada.

Hey how you doing?, there are a few stores that sales online in Mexico, also there are good forums were you can visit also like i-reef.com.

If you want to buy online, you can try reefservices.com.mx or www.mireef.com.mx for coral and equipment, if you need fish is better for you to drive to Guadalajara and visit some of the aquarium stores, the stock only reamains a couple of days, and with some owners you can receive the list of available fish, order and pick up and pay.

If you need to know directions form aquarium stores here at Guadalajara please send me a PM

Also we have like an unofficial reef club here at Guadalajara, and organize BBQ quite often to share some frags, have some chat share some advices and drink some beer, whenever you want to join you are invited.

It will be my pleasure to help, and please try to post a thread related to the building of your 25 gal Cube.

A little advice, when you purchase corals online, always ask for shipping with the next day warrantied service, this is offered by Multipack and Estafeta, they deliver next day before noon at most cities of Mexico.

Pues reefservices acaba de poner a venta algunas ricordias

No es muy comun ke los acuarios de aqui tengan y cuando traen las traen muy caras, debido a que son muy delicadas en el manejo.

Que acuarios conoces de GDL?
 
Ke tal Snake,

Si las vi en reefservices y me encantaria comprar unas solo que en este momento estoy un poco corto de dinero si no se acaban pedire unas al final de la proxima semana...

Conozco,

Acuario tepeyac
Acuario arboledas

Pero principalmente (unicamente casi) voy al acuario providencia con Ruben.. excelente acuario, servicio, precios etc... En realidad no conozco otro acuario como este en gdl

Hay otro acuario por ahi del que no sepa ??

Im living in Puerto Vallarta and will be flying to Mexico City for a few days.
What is the best Coral/Fish store in Mexico City?
There is realy not any here in Puerto Vallarta.
Im looking to get a pair of False Percula Clownfish. A Yellow Watchman Goby and a Pistol Shrimp.
Also Some Nice color Zoas and Torch and a Frogspawn.
Any ideas on the best stores?

Thankx
 
Look for "Mercado Morelos" it has a quantity of vendors were you can choose the most you like, also you can buy in internet at reefservices.com if you want to buy corals.

Also why don't you drive to Guadalajara once a while ? I can recommend some aquariums or or maybe you can purchase or trade corals with some of us

Si existen mas acuarios, no todos tienen corales, actualmente no muchos acuarios traen corales, nosotros logramos hacernos de algunas cosas cuando intercambiamos entre nosotros o bien nos juntamos para pedir cosas a los acuarios de mexico df.

mandame un mp y te invito a que te unas a un foro mexicano donde estamos muchos aficionados de aqui de guadalajara y con frecuencia nos resunimos.

Saludos
