LF - Gracilaria
 

Does anyone in the Calgary area have any gracilaria seaweed or has anyone spotted any at any LFS's in the area?

Any vendors who have these - please msg me, thanks!

please and thank you!

Big Al's did a while back but sure about right now. It was nice, good size too.

what do you plan to do with the marco algae Tony?

Just want to try to get a self-sustaining colony of it kinda like chaeto and then feed prunings to the fish.

Got reminded how useful the stuff is when I visited an aquaculture facility (seahorse.com) last week. They give the stuff away. But of course to take any home you break all kinds of laws so that's no good and they won't ship purchases to Canada ("We ship anywhere! ..Except Canada. Go home, eh."). Actually that probably only applies to livestock .. maybe I should email them and ask about feeds, maybe they could be sweet talked into a shipping some. Hmmm.

Madmak - thanks for the tip, checked them out this afternoon but unfortunately all gone. Oh well.

If anyone sees any, plz let me know!

is this it ?

I'm not sure but I don't think so. The gracilaria I've seen seems to have really thin branches and seems to be free floating similar to chaeto. The cinch would be if you have any tangs, if so do they eat it up like crazy?
