9" Islantum!... Jealous??

[cichlidinsomniac]

he has some small ones now

I must admit, I am jealous I didn't get more. Maybe getting some more from Rapps this week but 9" is a year or so away.

Jeff just posted the new Istlanums after my friends and I have confirmed an order which is shipping this Wed. I hate to disrupt the shipment by squeezing in some more fishes as there is documentation and stuff like that need to be fixed.

Probably will have to try to get some on our next order, and I noticed that he has put Bocourti on his list too.

That's a great looking fish. Congratulations.

Thanks guys and can't wait to get him in my 150! He will most likely share a tank with my Beani when they get to size.

I think he will be ok with my Midas for a few months but we'll see when they get the intro. Midas is mean as hell but hopefully they cope. I mean the tank is 7 feet long and 18" wide so there is plenty of area.

Yeah back when I used to order from him at the fish store I worked at, he had juvenile Istlanum on a fairly regular basis.

I guess I missed the pic on his website, did anyone save it? Can you post? If not I will just wait till the OP posts pics. Nice pick up!

I wonder if it was the male he had that he used to get fry off of? It may have killed the female as is often the case.

yes thats same as the male beani he sold. either female died or was killed.
