Christmas Cichlids! Anyone getting any?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Gage has big lyonsi and some decent sized umbee I noticed. I've been thinking about lyonsi too. Haven't seen any big grammodes around though.

funny you mention the Lyonsi. I think Im taking a trip over after Christmas to pick up a pair, but in the meantime I just ordered one of his large wild caught Argentea:)

Should be here by lunchtime tommorrow.....my daughter named him "Oreo"
 
i wish i could but my tank and wallet are currently at its limit, i'd like to invest the money into improving my setup.

lol i thought you were going to pick out your fish while you were at his place ?
 
^^ that was the plan but we are just too busy getting ready for christmas. Plus my dad and daughter want to go, so we are going to make a day of it. I was going to wait on the agentea too, but we've had a bit of drama developing between our festae and Midas. She's trying to spawn and he wants nothing to do with it. Being that he's the largest fish i figure adding another larger male would help hit the reset button in the tank. Plus, he's got over 400 at that size so my daughter would have a nightmare picking out just one lol.

lol gage just called. Fish is going to the airport now, so I'll pick him up a little later this evening instead:headbang2

lol cool, yeah i know how it is to be impatient :D

i'm sure he picked out a great fish for you can't wait to see it.
 
After Xmas I'll be getting a couple more female Gymno. n. sp. "Catalan Grande" to round out my breeding group! Hopefully I'll have babies in the near future :D
 
Just made my xmas order with rapps for 5 juvenile la ceiba freddys. Also picked up a 4 inch female for my friend. Will be here firday in the a.m.... O YEA
 
Getting my order from Gage Jan 9 when I get back from Christmas out of state. :D

You better keep me in on this, I got my stand made last night (still need to skin it), got a pump, ordered plumbing fittings (be here Friday), and just picked up my glass sheets to make my sump, which will go on this afternoon. Oh yeah, also prepped the living room for painting, which is going to have to happen before the tank goes in. So far I'm on target to have it ready by then.
