  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
dan-ye screen name on MFK is MTNPIKE....also there website is americancichlids.net not cichlids of the americas that site is cichluvr

Oops. I was just going off the top of my head. Thanks for catching that...both names have cichlids and America in them!
 
i've met dan ye before during my time in colorado at a local fish auction. its actually him and his wife thats in the hobby. they have qualtiy showfish....i know he's a member on MFK, but cannot think of the screen name at this time...hm...also he goes to the ACA once a year.

LOL - Not sure who you met, but Dan Ye-Jennings is a she, Jon is her husband. Their site is americancichlids.net
 
I just ordered from Gage about a month ago. Ordered six small Altifrons and received seven. They got lost in the mail for a week but all arrived healthy and alive so I can't complain. Talked to him every day also.
 
So I understand conkel isn't selling directly to the public anymore, but is there anywhere his stock list for wholesalers is available for viewing? Just curious, would like to see what comes around before it gets to suppliers, or maybe the full list of what a supplier can get through him?
 
I talked to gage on the phone and I'm probably 24 hours away from completing the order :) Here's what the final order is going to be unless something happens in the next day.

2 bocourti 4-4.5"

2 carpintis 'Vontehillo' 3-3.5

2 freidrichsthalli 3-3.5"

2 bifasciatus 3"

2 synspilus 3-3.5"

2 tetracanthus 3"

I actually asked for the Chairel variant of the carpintis but Gage said the Vontehillo had more blue, lots of red and bigger spots than the Chairel. How could I say no to that??
 
That's a really nice selection. All of those cichlids grow to be very attractive. I hope your order goes smoothly. I look forward to your pics once the fish arrive too.

I used to get his wholesale stocklist emailed to me each month, but that stopped coming several months ago. No idea.
 
thx im pretty excited, I saw buddha's bocourti and almost passed out! lol. So I made sure to get 2 and with a little luck they'll pair up. I know the chance's arent great but all I can do is hope :)

Also I originally wanted some argentea but cavamart posted pics of some nice bifa's and he had me sold. all are really nice cichlids tho.
 
you should enjoy all those fish,the bocourti takes a little patience(slow to color up) but the end result is well worth the wait,and the vontehillo is spectacular when mature.
