My Midas Thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hi,

So, my little fish ain't little fish any more and I believe I have the beginning of a pair forming, so I now need to shift on the other four fish, though I'd keep them all if I could.

I was going to keep only a solo male, but seeing the young couple together makes it too much for me to resist trying the pair...

I will be listing them in the appropriate section here, but if anybody reading this wants or knows anybody who might want a beautiful Creamsicle F1, Lake Arenal, Costa Rican amphilophus citrinellus, please contact me as quickly as possible.

They're from Cichlids of the Americas, brought into UK by Rob Johnston of Lincs fish (who told me he'd have them back off me if I could ship them to him).

I'm in a hurry, as they're now getting too much to keep together and because the pair might kick things up a gear any time soon...

Cheers

All but Twin are about 5 - 6 Inch and Twin is about 4 Inch...

By the way, if you can get to me to collect, this weekend, in North Surrey, inside M25, you can take your pick and I won't charge fellow MFKers...!

This is Bracket and Spotty.
They have been very obviously pairing up for a few days and ferociously defending their corner of the tank.
I had already decided to keep Bracket as hes developed into a bit if a bruiser and was seriously considering trying to keep little Spotty as his girlfriend as she is a sweetheart... and FIESTY! So I'm so happy they chose each other...!
She's WAY smaller than him, so what I'll do is put in plastic tube (with sand siliconed over, so it blends in) which only she fits in, in case he gets heavy handed....

I haven't been very active in the hobby lately but bug is hitting me hard, especially pure Midas.

Looking to order some from don conkel but very expensive without group orders.

I couldn't manage to list them in the marketplace section of this site. I couldn't get it to work for me.

Anyway, I have found an LFS who'll take all 4 of my surplus. I'm very sad to know I'll be seeing them go tomorrow... ☹
