My first haul.

I attended my first fishkeeping meet up today 2 hours away and it was good. I got to talk to several good people and have a few laughs. Sadly due to a miscommunication between me and a seller which was on my end resulted in a group of fish I wanted not being brought but I got some great plants instead so not all was lost.

Cherry shrimp, a dozen.


Apistogramma boreli


Nannacara anomala Kelly_Aquatics


Plants, you are literate, you can read the name.


Also somebody almost hit me while I was driving there, they almost rammed me from the side and I almost hit the concrete barrier while trying to not get hit by them. All I will say is they are lucky I don’t have road rage.

I’m gonna for the first time take breeding seriously which is why I got these lovely cichlids.
Indeed, you wouldn’t believe the amount of car parts and cars on the side of the road on a certain section of the journey, it’s known for you having to go with the flow of traffic or you’re getting hit, you might still get hit even if you’re going with the flow of traffic.

I actually almost got hit 2 more times that I didn’t mention. I was going 70 and these two cars, one was following the other, whipped across 4 lanes cutting multiple cars off, including me, going about 90 miles an hour, I’m still shocked they didn’t crash. The interesting thing is that after whipping across the 4 lanes, twice I may add, they get off at an exit within 500 feet of starting to whip across the lanes. About 100 feet where they ripped across from one side to the other than back to the same side the lanes then within 400 feet they get off at an exit. Like what the hell?

nice take home!

the borellii will not disappoint! The mature males are beautiful. Females will stay yellow. Females get bright yellow when ready to breed.

Looks like a great score.

Congrats, some nice stuff there. I am envious of those borelli, that's a must-find fish for me.

I wished it was closer however this is the closest club that I know of. Such a shame it’s 2 hours away one way in Atlanta but it’s worth the drive to find some fish keepers that don’t only keep the bread and butter fish.

No breeders of them there?
