I just picked up 2 today, I'm going to put them in the tank when I get done typing this post. I am very excited :) My son went with me to pick them up and said they were awesome (he turns 9 tomorrow).

The owner of the LFS said they were already taking frozen bloodworms so I am sure they will do great.

WooHoo

Where did you get them?
I am sooooooooooo envious!
I am determined that I am going to get some this year.
I have had them twice and lost my last one five years ago.

Catching up with Martin

Hey Martin! Long time, no 'see.'

I'm so glad to see you are still here, and still in Toronto...married life must agree with you.

I've got a new account here, but I think you'll remember me. Laurie from Seattle, I have one of your handmade loach T-shirts and you sent me Twiglets!

I'm just getting back into fish...maybe. And seeing what's new in the loach world.

Oh Lordy Laurie! Of course I remember you.

I'm still here, the marriage isn't,...... but I'm living with a wonderful woman so life is good.

:evil: :evil: :evil: I believe I did mention I am flying, not driving???? :evil: :evil: :evil:

And I thought our great Socialist neighbors to the north (well, Toronto is due West) would have BUSES????

At any rate, you will need to give me directions to said wonderful fish store, so I can see what I am missing :(

CDN$3 will get you a ride on the truly wonderful TTC. On Queen St, where your hotel is. You have the option of bus or streetcar heading east.

then you'll go north on Parliament to:

Yes, the good ole days of carrying fish in your carry-on bag are long gone. I brought my hillstreams into Canada when I emigrated from England that way.
