Re: Can a GSP poison you?
Sorry, I thought you were in Toronto. I hope I can tear myself away from him when it's time. Everyone that sees him says I should set up another large tank for him. You're lucky don't have room for 1 more tank & I love my fahaka so much. I swear, I just want to take him out & hug him!

LOL, I want to pet my ceylons too, except if I stick my hand in the tank, I may be missing me parts when I take it out.
Nope, wet coast for us

I wish I could interact with Shelby like I do with my seahorses. But I'm afraid if I let Shelby grab my fingers like the seahorses do, my finger might be missing after.

No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Re: Can a GSP poison you?
Have you looked into Customs & how we're gonna get him across the border? I wish you could just drive here & get him.

Re: Can a GSP poison you?
Yeah, I know. I wish too. I have talked to the Canadian border agency. There is not import restrictions on ornamental fish not listed in CITES. Also checked the CITES website and C. schoepfii isn't listed, so I will not have any problems bring him over. There is a town in WA called Point Roberts that is <30 minutes from my house. Overnight shipping from you to Point Roberts. I'd be waiting at the post office for the delivery truck to arrive and we'd get him home as soon as possible. Sound good?
