Speaking of fish, what happened to your beani cichlids? Still growing them out or did you sell them all already?

I sold them a pair locally and shipped another pair to Don Conkel.... all in hopes that he spawns them and makes them readily available to the hobby. I didn't make a red cent on them..... felt he was more than qualified to bring them back and that was worth more than making a profit.
 
I just visited Don at his farm last week. He is a great guy. When did you ship your beanis? I think I saw them. I saw your argentea also.

That is an AWESOME photo! Unfortunately I only ordered 2 argentea.... one didn't make it a day into it in the other tank.

looks like you also picked up some festae.

Nope.... no Festaes. You might be confusing Festaes with the Lyonsi.

Ah nice. The mota I kept turned out to be female, lol, I sold it to a local hobbyist at 5" for $10. The dovi I kept is a male though, I'm going to see what he looks like when his colors come out more at 6-7". He has a pretty thick body for a fish his size.
