Amazon Ecosight

my juvenile peacock bass started to have these white spot on it boby, tail, and fins, other than that it seems pretty normal. i wonder if those white spots could be fungus? if so what can i buy to treats it.

It sounds like ich.

I usually treat ich with a salt solution, as I don’t like chemicals that have synthetic dyes. I would also suggest regularly vacuuming your tank gravel when ich is not present on your fish….due to the parasite’s life-cycle.

Research the ich parasite and its life-cycle and go from there. Like I said, I prefer salt, but there are many chemicals on the market that may also be effective.

abandoned mines of the Northeast, which is your favorite club in Brazil?

any dealers for fish

Go to tfdfish.com. They’re out of ohio. They sell Peacock bass for a pretty reasonable price. You’ll have to have them shipped in. I’ve bought fish from this website before, and they’re pretty good. I don’t know of any local places you could get them from.
Below is a link to one of tfdfish’s postings on aquabid.com

I’m looking to do a tour to Peru (Inca Trail, Amazon, etc) Has anyone ever used Gap Adventures or Trek Escapes (or any other tour operator for that matter) to do these tours? If so, was it a good experience? Which tour did you do?

Yes i Went to choquequirao.
It was great. Its located in the north part of Cusco. its really hard to get there but i really enjoyed it

chau amigos bye

i really want the blackberry tour and i found one on amazon.com.

however, if i get the phone at a verizon wireless store, it costs around $200 but why does this one only cost $50?
is it because it is used? and could i still use it even though my phone hasnt expired yet?

Actually, if you bought it from the Verizon website, it would be $100 (with a 2 year contract).

Cell phones are almost always much less expensive at authorized retailers than at the carrier’s store and they’re always less expensive online. The authorized retailers are willing to accept little or nothing on the sale of the handset to entice people to buy from them. They make their money on a percentage of the plan.

We are thinking of going to Peru, Amazon & Galapagos in April 2010.
Our tour agent is Andean Trails in Scotland - has anyone travelled with these before if so did you have any problems?
They have suggested we stay in Guayaquil over night before the cruise to Galapagos, now i know that is really rough, but has anyone else stayed here - what was it like? It is basically to reduce the flying we have to do.
We have also been quoted for a 5 day trip on the Angelique ship - has anyone else been on this - was it noisy etc?

about Guayaquil, if you’re afraid of the city- it’s not bad. it’s a very big city but one of the most safest cities in Latin America (off course not counting bad neighborhoods). not so much to do thought…
there’s a very nice promenade and a beautiful view at night.
have fun, the Galapagos islands are amazing.

I am going with a group of friends to Brazil in July. We already have hotels for Rio and the Amazon because we are going with a tour company but we plan on travelling on our own after that. But i still need hotel in Salvador Bahia.

Any recommendations? Doesn’t need to be Peru.

percy Garcia in Iquitos, Peru. Honest, transparent and has a beautiful lodge in deep jungle, private cabins and the ceremonial maloca are screened in. The maloca is built on stilts over a small river.
He’s in the mid-range of prices at $525 per week or $75 a night. Holds ceremonies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and doesn’t do big groups so you get lots of attention. Best of all he has an assistant and excellent healer in his own right, Carlos. He’s completely bi lingual. Check with alanshoemaker@hotmail.com to make reservations.
And the annual International Amazonian Shamanism Conference that are held in Iquitos, Peru every July. They’re awesome with around 200 people coming from everywhere and there’s 12 or so invited Shamans that speak and hold ceremonies. Website is www.soga-del-alma.org

Hola!

I’m planning a 3 month trip to South America with two friends for the end of this year, November -> February.

We have a list of countries :

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

We’re thinking of starting in Chile, working our way down south then back up north through Argentina and maybe doing an Amazon cruise into Brazil. We’d also like to stop by Easter Island and the Galapagos Islands.

Can I get some more suggestions on the order of countries to visit?

Thanks!

Be aware that most Latin American countries essential shut down in December for the Christmas holidays. This is the height of their tourist season so you should get your reservations in now.

That said, I would recommend this itinernary:
Start with Brazil, then go down to Buenos Aires. Stay in Argentina to the Patagonia, visit the Peninsula de Valdez (See the orcas, penguins, and seal colonies). From there, go over to the Lakes of southern Chile and Bariloche in Argentina. Go up through chile to Santiago (maybe a side trip to Mount Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the hemisphere). Easter Island is Chilean territory so arrange your visit from there. From there the Atacama Desert to Peru - Nasca, Macchu Picchu, Lima. Peruvian food is outstanding, don’t miss the seafood. See the Volcanos and mountains in Ecuador and try to see the Galapagos from there. Finally don’t miss Colombia. Forget everything you’ve heard about this country, it’s a beautiful place with wonderful people. See Cali, Bogota, and Cartagena. Venezuela is nice but by this point the only thing worth seeing will be Angel Falls.
