[fishpimp]

put me down for an endi!

[pounder]

you must let me know so I can order some congo tetras:grinno:

[RedTigrinus]

nile perch sound good.

[maxinout13]

no problem ill have the AWB soon and ill post landing date, im excited to see all the fish coming in, i cant wait!

[cichlaguapote]

I'm guessing that's african arows.. not silver arows(wrong continent)

[VVateverzYo]

do u no the sizes of the polys

[lymiq]

nate .. can you request polyp congicus as well? call dibs on a few if they come in and possitively id'ed .. let me know if i can be of help

[Big Roc]

do u no the sizes of the polys

Not too sure last time they said 4"-5" and they all came in 8"-12":nilly:

[maxinout13]

my guess is they farm silver arrows, they are listed as silvers, hopefully they are african, order lands 7/24

size is not ever listed its kinda what they get they send, which is kinda good but hard to prep your tanks when you dont know whats coming, always fun getting african orders in :)

[Nic]

congo tetras you say they would happen to be on my list for my planted tank;)

[maxinout13]

plenty will arrive ,for sure a good time to get them, i see them selling for to much every where else.

[Peanut_Power]

African shipments?! You're in the WRONG continent!! LoL! Well, sounds like you'll be gettin in some great stuff!! BRING IT!

I know this is a little off topic, but who is who? I know your Maxinout Nate, but who is Big Roc? And NE-Cichlids? Sorry, its been buggin me cuz I didn't know who was the head man, and stuff like that. I think you guys are the only vendors that have more than one person.

[maxinout13]

haha ya we get confusing, ne-cichlids is actually in FL he is his own company we just do some work together from time to time, BIG ROC is my cousin we started MA together and run it ourselfs, no employees, just us.

[pounder]

hey Nate did you get my pm?

[Peanut_Power]

haha ya we get confusing, ne-cichlids is actually in FL he is his own company we just do some work together from time to time, BIG ROC is my cousin we started MA together and run it ourselfs, no employees, just us.

Thanks for clarifying Bro. Nate....appreciate it I do!! :D

[maxinout13]

no problem. chad or richard i forget which one you are , oops!,you need to give rico a call, thanks.

[Tucc185]

I sent you an email before I read this thread. Is the shipment in yet? Interested in the aros if they are african, perhaps odoes as well. I live not too far, is pickup an option?

[maxinout13]

yes i replied, i live in mass and keep african fish in my house, some, no rays yet im setting up the tanks now about 3000g for africans and rays, this order lands 7/24 , next wednesday.

[Tucc185]

thanks for the fast reply! guess I'm not the only insomniac here.

[maxinout13]

haha very true! when you have customers all over the world you need to be awake for them all! finding time to sleep is the problem haha

[pounder]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH can't wait for the prices:nilly: :nilly: :nilly:

btw Nate this is Richard:D

[I31]

what's the update?

[lymiq]

wondering myself ... they must still be collecting from the rivers and lakes

:popcorn:

[santoury]

I have been a repeat customer in the past, and have nothing but good things to say about these guys

But ... c'mon let's get some fish in :) I'm always looking for more lungfish, and I have yet to get my Synbranchus! Shape up or ship out! (Just kidding)

[maxinout13]

sorry guys had some family issues come up out of the blue, i called the exporters the day before shipping and had to put it off, notice my not being around :( its still ready to come and should be here shortly....


bad news on aramatus, they were confiscated, so i lost alot of money there, and my exporters connections were busted and can no longer collect fish...OUCH damn american see what i caused, oh well shouldnt have offered them, i have one more source for them outside of SA and he is out at the moment, so be patient... sucks and im sorry but thats why i didnt accept money, not until they make it here. i have the link but its completely in spanish about the report on him getting busted...

[pounder]

sorry to hear that Nate. hope everything's better.

[dovii88]

im so down for a nile perch..havnt got a new fish in a while..

[maxinout13]

its all good sucks river wonders has to hurt peoples pockets man...i land them for 24$ selling them for $85, but hey when you want the fish you want it, but i wouldnt wait either, to bad mine were larger it was just a ploy to make people happy saying 3"-4" when they get arger fish for cheaper, oh well in this business it happens, if it was easy everyone would do it, africa lands next tuesday.

[santoury]

What IS coming in on Tues? Thanks

[I31]

[maxinout13]

by the way my new phone number is 413 328 5229

[maxinout13]

hah well not new but i think you had my other phone, verizon sucks so i switched a while back!

[santoury]

Cool - thanks! How many lungs coming? You know me :)

[ermgravy]

african arrows-50 (heterotis niloticus): by any chance is shipment to the uk fisable and any idea how big fish will be on arrival to you?

[maxinout13]

40 lungs coming in, need some for wholesale customers, so maybe like 20-25 available.

i can ship to the uk, but i dont know the size just yet. shipping to the uk is not the cheapest thing to do though, there are alot of taxes fees and paperwork to do on both ends, and you may need permits.

[VVateverzYo]

hey i was wondering how big are the endli endli

[VVateverzYo]

and what type are they endli or cognicus

[maxinout13]

last batch came in as endlicheri endlicheri from 8"-14" i wont know exact size until tomorrow, ill post up all the info and pics as soon as i get in, not sure how long it will take to put away over 1500 fish heh

[ermgravy]

ok il speak to Defra in a couple of hours when they open and find out what would be needed. from what i remember, i need to get a general import licence form them to import the fish, but i think that is free, and its the custom checks where the cost comes in. but that said. i am def very interested! in probly two african aro's and to make it worth my time i best check your whole stock me thinks... lol

[ZOO YORK 207]

Interested in the African Aros. I'll check in tomorrow after the shipment is in for sizes and prices.

[lymiq]

not sure how long it will take to put away over 1500 fish heh

damn ... can't wait to see what's coming .. wish i was local ... would def lend a hand... hehehe

[maxinout13]

haha thanks alot i wish you were local to! nothing like acclimating a small african army of fish haha me and rico will have some fun doing it though, its always a blast opening those boxes, you truly never know what they are going to send, or what sizes, african arrows are going to be a hott item i can wait to get em, you can count on me keeping one for my cohab heh

[VVateverzYo]

so what are the prices for the endli and size

[maxinout13]

everything came in great, not to much loss, however it ran into a long night (about 4:30 am lol! ) and im off to work a double at my chef job, i will post pics prices and all info as soon as i can tonight, here are some sizes though i can do fast.
