I got a nice present today that I wanted to share with you guys and gals. Picked it up this afternoon at Hobby Airport here in Houston via Southwest Air Cargo. Came all the way from Philly.

They came in a big box. I'll open it for you.

The contents arrived safe and sound and each fish was triple bagged.

I had one heck of a time getting the heavy duty rubber bands off. Ended up cutting them off.

The contents.............wc moba momma #1

wc moba momma #2

and wc moba momma #3.....all from Tyrone at TNT Cichlids where I bought my original wc moba colony back in January of 2005.

I floated them in my 180g for a few hours and pulled them out and slowly started adding a cup of my tank water every 10-15 minutes for an hour.

I wet my hands and caught each one. Had to put my cheater glasses on to be sure not to miss them. My 17 y/o daughter took the rest of the pics. Thank you sweetie!

Another hand caught momma smiling for you.......gentle like holding a newborn baby :)

Check out the happy 50 y/o boy holding one of his 3 new wc moba momma additions. I don't get to be in very many photos since I'm the one usually taking them. My alpha male is going to be especially happy!!!! LOL

Hope you enjoyed the pics and story as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you.
 
niiiiiiiice im pretty sure once he gets settle in his colors are going to pop out more but very beautiful ..how much did u get him for if u dont mind me asking
 
They look great! I plan on doing a couple of nice African tanks once the kids have moved out, with one being a Moba colony. Do you have any full tank shots?
 
Beautiful fish Ron!

Okay I have to ask this b/c it's been a question of mine for so long and it might sound dumb but WHAT MAKES THE WATER BLUE LIKE THAT? IS IT SOME KIND A TREATMENT YOU CAN BUY OR WHAT???

nice fish BTW man, your really lucky.:)


Bag buddies is a tablet they drop in each bag that fizzes like alka seltzer and releases a mild sedative and oxyginates the water for the trip.
