Selling my 100 foot python. Has a bit of algae growing in it but that can be fixed with a bucket of bleach solution and a powerhead. Need gone ASAP. $50 or $75 with the brass faucet adapter. Pick up in Abbotsford

Aquatics By George is hereby closed until further notice. Thank you to everyone who supported me during my little run, and I hope to continue to be part of the hobby and see you all out there, once I recover from my personal problems. If I owe you anything, or have any sales or trades pending, just send me an email at [email protected] and I'll send you money to cover what I owe.

Keep your dreams wet!

No matter how advanced you may be in the hobby, never confuse your forums and groups with real expert advice. The law of infinite knowledge demands as many sources as possible, and what better source than the veterinarians and biologists who have dedicated their lives to healing our best friends?

Here are a few reliable sources of medical care for aquatic and/or exotic pets, that I use in my day to day life.

WETWEBMEDIA (Fish, Invertebrates etc. - Fresh/ Salt/Brackish - Free help advice for hobbyists from other hobbyists, biologists and experts)

FISH & AQUATICS VETS (The only list I could find was for the UK, but for BC locals we have at least one that I know of, Dr. Adrian Walton at Dewdney Animal Hospital in Maple Ridge.)

Yes, although she sees fish, Dr. Sanders completed veterinary school. She is a graduate of and learned in addition to all the usual species: cats, dogs, horses, pigs, sheep and goats. We continue to strive to be the go-to source for all aquatic animal assistance!

Some of my hand painted axolotl fridge magnets showing off with some of my hand made slate caves, made using real natural unglazed slate and aquarium silicone.

Very excited to announce that the first ever clutch of albino bristlenose catfish from these proud new parents are now 1" and ready to start going to new homes. Dad is a "golden albino" and mom is a "white albino", and the young ones seem to take after the female.

$10 each including a free 10 gram portion of Critter Crumbs --- http://aquaticsbygeorge.wixsite.com/creations/critter-crumbs ---

Other bristlenose varieties available:

Calico (orange/yellow and black) for $10 each for 1" juveniles

Silvertip (brown and white) $5 each for 1" juveniles.

Larger juveniles and sexable subadults may be available on request.

Delivery is available through Purolator (pm your mailing address for a quote) or I may be able to meet in Abbotsford or Coquitlam by Lincoln Skytrain station.

Two of my latest hand painted axolotl creations. These guys were commissioned off Etsy and are on their way to Italy soon.

Finally, an answer to the question we've all been asking ourselves. Why do Marimo balls float? You might think the air bubbles formed by photosynthesis, but that's only half the story. Turns out these funny critters actually have their own circadian rhythm. Yes, they can tell time!

---

Every morning, they rise to the surface of the water; every evening, they sink back down to the lakebed. Now scientists have finally figured out how these green spheres - called marimo algae - perform their dance every single day.

Long fin calico bristlenose Ancistrus eggs got evicted from their cave! Into the breeder basket with a couple of cherry shrimps with them.

Hornwort and mixed moss (Mostly Java moss, a bit of Xmas moss and susswassertang AKA "freshwater seaweed"). These both grow well in cool water with low or medium light. $5 per portion.

A custom terrarium that I'm working on designing for a client. It's actually been changed now to sliding acrylic doors rather than front opening, but I liked this earlier design so thought I would share.
