Bro 100% Kelberi 5+. And i would even throw a MONO in for sure. There are enough stunted Monos around that you ca find one that will fit. Someone has one they need to get out of there 55g trust me. Now this is real advice if you were really wanting a Mono/Kelberi combo. I second the Orino/Kelberi idea just an awesome combonation. And I remember the first official MFK meeting you saying "never". Never say never you never know when the bug is going to catch you. Welcome the Cichness! Also I would hold off on looking for other tank mated until you reach a desired size first. I would hat for you to spen all that money on Kels and have them come up with the short end of the stick.

Thanks Mike. If I were to stay away from your place I would not have this problem:D I need to do some serious consideration on this. Would like to raise myself and not piece together a community. So maybe just going with the 5 kelberi would be best. How hard was it for you to get your hands on kelberi?
 
Super hard it was a dream come true. Trust me if they were around when I came into the hobby there would be no Pinima, Mono, Ocell's. Just Kels and Orino. But at the time we were told we would never get our hands on Kels or Orino so I got my hands on what ever I could. Of course times have changed so for you right now you should have no problem at all. There avaliable in the sale/buy section every week. And I am sure I can put in a few call's if your looking to get a few into your ULTIMATE COLLECTION! I am sure I know a few people looking to part ways with a few extra Kels they got swimming around of course theres $$$ to hash out but that's nothing compared to the passion. But I don't need to tell you that.

It ain't my fault it's my pleasure. You know you have agreed with me with his collection that is all he's missing! ;)
 
everything is better with a 6-pack...rapps is getting some juvies in anytime now (according to his post a week or so) so get 3 kelberi from him then try to get 3 orinos from someone...should look good
 
Ya I'm thinking 6 total. Likely to be all kelberi or all orino though.

How about mixing in some geos for tankmates? I got G.abalios and G.altifrons, they are really p:lipssealeing me of with the earth moving they are doing in their current tank:irked:
 
Yep, Bryan, Mikes house is just flat out dangerous to go to if you want to stay away from Cichla. Of course, your house isn't much better if for my wallet. Now I want some damn geo's. lol
 
I know right Brians house is just as bad. That's how I got into Arrow's and of course these darn RED DEVILS! Now I got Red Devil baby problems like Brian but I have the best solution for unwanted fry! :naughty:
