Hi to anyone following up on these fish. Here's the scoop as I can tell from being on the fore in collecting/importing of both species in question. The xanthic form of Cichlasoma as seen at the beginning of this post is a fish I originally imported from an Ecuador collection about 2 years ago...

Surely I have more fish and new photos to share. How about baseball bats and billy clubs (the juveniles) with teeth?! Hoplias aimara 3-4" 450.00 ea. rare Suriname import of the giant growing 'Aimara wolf' in manageable juvenile size " curupira 'Colombia' 5-5.5" 175.00 ea. Rio Inírida collected...

But not 'flat in Baton Rouge, heading for the trains'.. nor 'down on Bourbon Street, set up like a bowling pin'... Really, just for being a total active fish geek for >45 years and poking fun at myself in general. I think many of you can relate. Thanks for the sticker Brian :) I found this...

more Myanmar and Thai fish market pics Hey! What do we pay for Polynemus?!

These photos are shared both for fun as well as to remind we ornamental fish aficionados that first and foremost, so many of the fish we covet were and continue to be resourced for subsistence in their native regions. My wife and I traveled in Myanmar (mostly) and Thailand for 3 weeks. I won't...

Sign in, create a thread and share photos. Where to start? I suppose most recent is easiest. Many of the really rare Brazil imports are still on hand. I'll copy/paste species entry from my web page stock list of a few examples. Crenicichla sp. 'cobra' 3-3.5" 200.00 ea. wild Pimental, Rio...

Hi MFKers I won't type too loudly this Monday after Super Bowl Sunday ;) Yes, great sized wild Rio Parana collected kelberi were received in top condition. Normally wild kelberi arrive pretty thin from Brazil. Not so these beauties! While the jumbo 9-10" individuals turned around very...

My favorite cichlid for the last 20+ years :) Actually, I believe there will be at least 3 species of umbies when all is said and done. The Panamanian one was the first described in 1913. So based on historical precedence, this fish would be known as K. umbrifera. I have recently collected this...

Pt 2 How cool are those orange finned Abramites?! Sorry I haven't a photo of the 4"+ emperor cichlids yet, but you get the picture.. On the same note, adult bocourti photo attached; juveniles currently available. Not much to see on stock juvenile red tiger mots, so...

So the first two names in this thread's title may get some folks' attention, but admittedly they are not species for everyone. Nevertheless, I do have Amia, Bagarius, and many, many, many other goodies in stock at this time. Hi all It's not possible to share my full stock list in a post as...

Thanks for some folk's kind words ;) I have humbly and agreeably made the appropriate adjustment to redescribe the spotted shovelnose in question on my stock list. My apologies as I did not thoroughly research this particular fish included on most recent Brazil import. It is a fish bred...

A customer of mine directed me to this thread. Duane is spot on in his reply on pg 2. There are additional questions as to other points (synspila/synspilus/synspilum) that I will try to briefly comment on as well. It's true that the genus name to which a fish species is assigned may be more...
