Doncha Just Luv 'New Fish Day'??!!!

[Oddball]

I just received a delivery from Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish. Each of the 4 fish was triple-bagged, in clean water, and arrived in fantastic shape. Two of them actually picked at frozen mysis AS they were slipping out of their shipping bag. I asked Dave for the two fattest and lightest and two darkest for an edge on winding up with M/F pairs. He hooked me up just right.
Anywho, here are a few pics of the newcomers. They're called Paretroplus maculatus and they hail from the the Komoro area of northwestern Madagascar. This group of FW cichlids is noted for their strong resemblance to SW tangs.

nice fish Phil. I love those Paretroplus sp. I heard they get really mean though

Very nice, Phil! I'm a fellow fan of Malagasy cichlids and have two P. maculatus as well. BTW, do you have the contact info for Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish? I'd like to pick up some P. nourissati and possibly P. menarambo.

Sweet pick up! Hope you get the pair you want.

They arrived at 6-7".

davesfish.com is where I got them. No P. menarambos in stock but, he's expecting (keep your fingers crossed) 50 small ones within the next couple of weeks.

ooooooooooh Dave Fish = Armke's!

I didn't know they changed names. I've had friends buy African cichlids from before.
