Malawis schooling?

[CLDarnell]

My L. fuelleborni fry were schooling just now. I recently moved them into the Community tank to open up their tank for my new Aro tomorrow headbang2) I was sitting here reading all my Auto-Bot PMs and noticed a good group of them schooling together down the length of the 55. I tried to get a photo, but all the other goofballs assumed it was feeding time and crowded in.

(I promise I am buying a digital camera tomorrow. Cell phone cameras + fish keeping = fail!)

There were around 10 in the group. I know fry tend to stick together for safety, but this looked more like an actual pack moving together.

I didn't think Cichlids school. Do they?

Since When are you getting an aro cliff? You and all your big moneys. When I get a 125 I'm so getting a black aro.

Hey Jim! Missed you Sunday! There was a pretty good turn out. The auction went much better this time, though I bought the majority of the fish lol. I got all of Deadhead's BAP'd fry.

Yeah, I talked to Mike and he ordered a Silver Aro for me. It came in tonight, but of course he's closed on Tuesdays. I pick him up tomorrow!

I am taking him some of these fry since the breeding group was holding when I picked them up from him. The guys here convinced me I need a small group of Aros, so I will order 3 more tomorrow.

By the way, do Malawi's school? lol

Hope you're doing well Sir!

Yeah I see them school. Depends on the fish though. Yeah it sucks I couldn't make it. Car troubles once again. But I'll def be at the next swap. These little makobes are getting so big. Gonna make a nice bedding group. I even have 40 more fry in my tumbler. What size tank are you putting 4 aros in lol

 

[CLDarnell]

Next time call me. I would have came and picked you up.

The first one is going to go into a 29 for one week. When the other 3 come in, they're all going into a 55 together for a couple of months. The Cichlids will come out of the 150 and go into a 125 and 49 cube. The Aros will then take over the 150. And no, I don't intentionally like moving fish lol.

Lol Cliff like I said before your too nice. I wouldn't ask you to drive all the way to atlantic just to get me. I can't wait to see your tanks though. And aros. I love aros.

Atlanta isn't far. I once drove over during lunch to adpot a GS. I was only about 20 minutes late getting back.

Yeah, I am pretty excited about picking the little guy up tomorrow. The one I saw at FF still had the egg sac attached. The one I have coming in is from the same supplier so he's going to be pretty small for awhile. But, he can play "monster" in the 29 for a short time

Lol Gotta post pics.

Atlanta isn't far.

Just noticed my typo. Atlanta is about a 17 hour drive

Yep, pics will be coming! I am going to try to stop on the way and finally get a decent camera. If I don't have time, I'll pick one up Thursday.

 

[Kanta]

Right On. Let me know what you get. I've been wanting to get a nice camera.
