Fatdovii......... I've been waiting for a group buy, just ask Ewok! Unless you're in the middle of nowhere (like stated in your avatar) count me in on a GB. I've got a list burning in my pocket!
How was your experience with Don Conkel?

Don published a book in 93 called the "Cichlids of North and Central America", has written many articles for TFH mag and the Buntbarsche Bulletin.
He has been an avid collecter for years and has a cichlid farm in FL.

....and in that book he described several "new species" which turned out to be hybrids. He continues to sell hybrids as a valid species (under the species name conkelii) to a LFS near me.

This was brought up in another thread a couple of weeds ago. They also sell
the same species ( Conkelii ) at an lfs here in St. Louis.
if anyone is seriously interested in getting an up to date price list from don, pm me.
no spam, please... only if you or your friends are seriously interested.
he's a good guy to deal with and the fish i've received are top quality.

ewok PM'd it to me, I'll forward it to you. On his site he says he has a $150 minimum, on the list I received it says $500. It says he has wild N. grammodes and wild P. nebuliferus among others. 
I'm in on a group buy... i think House64 is still in.
Hopefully there are still interested parties.
