Don Conkel visit

[clgkag]

After many request here are some more pics of my visit to Don's place. Didn't take a whole lot of pics, but these are the ones that came out best. Don is a great guy and if you get to the Tampa area, I would call him up and see if you can schedule a visit. More than willing to share his knowledge and give me a tour. Hope you all enjoy.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Photo 4 has Parachromis. Motaguensis maybe?
5 is frontosa
7 and 8 are Nandopsis haitiensis
9 and 11 look like a Paraneetroplus. Nebuliferus maybe?
10 might be Chuco godmanni?
12 is of course Vieja argentea

Any way you could confirm or correct those?

Photo 1 is the Argentea breeders he has, hard to see. I tried to circle the fish on the back right of the pic.

4 is actually an accidental dovii/pearsii cross that he has buyers for in Asia. One of those tank jumpers deals.

11 is Nebuliferus I believe, 9 is another accidental cross but I can't remember what it was. They are also going to asia.

Don is going to try and get in the hybrid asian market to see how that does. Not flowerhorns, but crosses like you see above.

i have been wondering about getting a tour of his place. I am in Tampa and he is not too far away but I didn't know if he would let me check it out or not. How hard was it for you to get him to let you check it out?
