Box of Americans from Don Conkels (with pics)

I have been talking with Don for the last few weeks getting this order together. He had a hard time finding an afordable flight for me close to home. He went way beyond good service making all kinds of calls to the airlines until he found something that would work for me. I couldn't possibly say enough about how happy I am with how good Don was to me.

Any way here is what I got and some pics...

Amphilophus lyonsi
Astatheros altifrons
Astatheros nourisatti
Astatheros rhytisma
Archocentrus nanoluteus
Chuco godmanni
Herichthys bocourti
Herichthys carpintis
Herichthys pearsei
Nandopsis salvini
Paratheraps hartwegi
Vieja bifasciatus
Vieja maculacauda
Vieja synspilus
Vieja zonatus
Vieja argentea
Vieja regani
Vieja rainbow regani - Don said this is a new fish he has not yet released in North America so I guess I may have got the first one. I would point him out but I have not figured out which one he is.

















I only lost one, it was still hanging on when it got here but died several hours later. I think it was the Paratheraps hartwegi.

I like those bocourti. How big are they? And, sorry to ask but, how much did that order set you back?

According to my order the Bocourti are 1.25-1.5". Don required a minimum retail order of $150 and he asks for 50% per fish more above his wholesale price. With shipping my order total was $232.

I sperated the 6 salvini and put them alone in a 150. All the others are in a 260. Of the list what do you think would be best to put in the 150 with the salvini?
