Posting fairly late, but today was my birthday. And being the fool that I am, got some fish a little while back for this day. :D
I went to the the LFS in search of a CK, but they were out. So instead I ended up getting 2 African Knives, seems how I lost mine to disease a few months ago, a 2" Senegal Bichir (Thought I'd grow him out, then put him with the 5" Senegal... going to be awhile yet, lol), and a 5" Peacock Eel that I put with my TT Eel. They look great together. :D(Pics show the Knives first in quarentine, then taking them out to move them, then in the tank after a major WC, and the finished product!)
Nothing reallyexciting, (Although I love the Knives! lol) BUT I have conacted my LFS and they will be ordering me a CK and an Aba aba. Two new Knives to add to the collection!:headbang2(The 2nd part of the B-Day Gift, lol)
Also are some pics of the 12 Cichlid fry I got to hatch out, and are doing great!

I love the knives! Perfect choice!!! Can't wait till you get in those aba aba!!! I have wanted one dearly for a while!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thanks man! The only thing I haven't been told about the Aba aba is the size and price. Hoping it isn't much, but ready to pay. :D
 
Hopefully they will be at least 3 to 4". All the ones I've tried keeping that came in at .5" to 2" just did not do good. They are annoyingly fragile at small sizes. Perhaps it was just me though!!!

Excited for you!! How long before they come in! Too cool man!!!

I was hoping they would be around 3-4", as I have also heard that they are fragile at a smaller size.
It will most likely be arriving next week Wednesday or Thursday with their next shipment, but you never know. :D I have to give the store owner another call to discuss the whole thing a little more. Seems like such a long wait! lol, possibly I could see if they could get them in on Friday... :naughty: Still need to talk it over first. I always love being able to work with a new species of Knife, or at least one that is new to me!
 
Awesome Knives! Good Luck with the Aba Aba! I've been wanting one as well, but I don't think I can handle anymore fish tanks, lol.
 
Awesome Hoyo! Great choice of pickups... and Happy Birthday!

Hopefully the CK and Aba aba work out. :D
 
awesome!
