Going Diving in Africa!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
cool video!! As for posting it within the thread... I have no idea it never works for me.
 
Yeah, i can't seem to embed it.
We have the Youtube icon when we reply or post. But it does not seem to work correctly when I use it. I don't have a problem embedding youtube vids on the other 2 sites i frequent and this one is more advanced. I guess i can post about it, or look around on MFK and ask people who have successfully embeded to this site.

Ain't that Nimbochromis cool!

i would love to do something like this. glad you had a good time. thanks for that little trip to africa in my mind. awesome pics
 
They export what people want.
an example of good sellers are fish with males and females a different color, or fish where some of them are OB's.

can't make money selling an obscure fish that one person wants.

they catch due to demand and presales.
if you see that chalk board in the background of one of the pix, it shows the orders.

I understand this concept - and the only reason I made a comment is because of how many people pick up that species not knowing how aggressive they can be in a captive setting. Same can be said for most of the Melanochromis species.. lol. (great colors, but too territorial for most new cichlidkeepers and their tanks)

Plus you look at how many domestic strains of M. lombardoi and such are out there - I didn't think they would need to import more.. (though I guess those ones aren't necessarily bound for the U.S.)
