Got my fish in the mail from Jeff today. I only got 4 haitensis and a little xilo, but as always, I am very impressed with the packing and quality of his fish! Still small, but they will be stunner's a few months from now! Healthy, strong, stunning cichlids....what more can you ask for! Definitely recommend doing business with Jeff, there is no better place for cichlids, period.
Some pics because I know you'll ask.;):
The haits are a bit stressed as I took that pic 5 minutes after releasing them into the tank, after turning off the lights they perked right up.
I'll get a better pic of the xiloaensis later.....still in the bag in that pic. Note the blue shipping water.

Don't put it with gatf, tigs, or armatus.;) The xiloaensis is like a miny midas if you will.
