online buying of SAE's
Hi all
well I have to buy some SAE's to combat my BBA. its my last resort before bleach or Cu treating of the tank. So where is the best, most reliable, (Cheapest shipping to Pa) place to buy SAE's from online. I have already considered Arizona aquatics, but i don't like their quantity ordering. I would most likely buy a few plants also. Anywhere else reputable where they will definitely send me SAE's not anything like CAE's or other junk fish? Thanx -- Matt C. http://home.comcast.net/~amgock |

Thanx -- Matt C. http://home.comcast.net/~amgock sae's can be delicate fish that are all caught in the wild. I wouldn't recommend ordering any. Try to find them at the local store. If you order them, you may have them all die and then you are out all of the s&h. -- Margolis http://web.archive.org/web/200302152...qs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.unrealtower.org/faq |

I think I contacted them through aquabid.com I have 11 SAEs. I like them and IMO they are very hardy. Mine are now about 4 or 5 inches in length. Not one has been sick. They seem to be great community tank fish. I couldn't locate the receipt and it has been well over a year since I bought them. The link below is possibly the one I bought from, I know I have bought from them in the past. http://www.aquariumfish.net/catalog_...er_siamese.htm dick |

All of mine died when the filter broke when I was on vacation. -- Victor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

Never gave a thought to them as backup to the filters. One more reason to have air in the tank. dick |

Actually, air bubblers have a minimal impact on oxygen concentration in the water. It's surface water turbulence that provides enough gas exchange. Bubbles are too small and their contact time is too short to provide efficient transfer between phases. If your filters go out, I'd recommend a power head producing water surface movement. -- Victor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

Better yet keep spare filter on hand. I have seen the bubbler help in the quarantine tank when I briefly treated several mollies for possible ich. They were swimming at the surface until I added air, so it can be helpful. dick |
