Screw it, I'm getting a GT

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Oddball Express in Durham UK is the one that imports from Rapps. I don't know how far that is from you but you can see his stock list at tangledupincichlids.com

My cure for the first one is to spend some time next to the tank, read, watch tv or whatever, let them get used to you near the tank. Tank height can affect some fish, some don't seem to like much movement above their sight line.

Good cure. I'm kind of in two minds, the tank is currently in a quiet room where it doesnt get much traffic and therefore doesn't vibrate etc; if i have it in my room though, I'm very conscious that if i walk by it, the tank wobbles slightly, which freaks me out to no end lol; first world problems :(
 
Well I got my male GT, about 3 inches, cracking colours; with a nuchal hump.

Will get photos up soon once he's calmed down a bit :)
 
Actually love my gt pair, a good pair is so so underated imo with people wanting to impress with rare fish. Never selling these, male is about 6.5 inch female around 5 now!-)

One of my favorite fish. It's long been my contention that if gold saum GTs were a new or rare fish they'd be a dream fish for a lot of people and crazy expensive-- actually, at one time they were crazy expensive.

WOW, they are stunning mate, just about the best I've seen. Seeing males like that alway re assures me why they are my fave fish by far. Hope mine turns out like him.

I know Rapps has some Stalsbergi If those interest you. I believe there is someone over your way that imports form him but I can't remember who it might take some searching through old MFK threads or reaching out to him directly.

I never liked Stalbergi due to the white saum but they are growing on me. I really like the blues and greens better on the Stalsbergi.

I was drooling over Rapps' Stalsbergi earlier today. If only I had the extra money. Lol
