Just purchased 3 strigata & 3 atabapo II along with a few other goodies. Can`t wait til tomorrow. Look out Jon & Peanut the ol skool pike dude is back.:naughty:
 
Nice!!! Do you know which variant of strigata you are getting? Definitely looking forward to pictures! :D

Once a Crenicichlaholic, always a Crenicichlaholic in my book, so you never left. :)

If Crenicichla don't get more publicity and appreciation this year, I'll be really surprised. Crenicichla are finally starting to come out on top!!! :D :D :D
 
There here!!! I just love the atabapo II`s already. Right now the strigata`s look pretty plain. When they settle in , I might try to post a pic or two. You know I`m the worst pic taker on the planet. Kinda wish I had got the lents now. Pics to come...

I've been wondering about the strigata -hope they don't remain plain looking. Seems to me there is a spectacular regional variant(s) and then the more drab specimen. A few years back we had a very bland looking strigata acquired from Jeff Rapps that I was disapointed with.

The photos I've seen of Don's Atabapo II's have been very encouraging - fat & healthy looking, no HITH whatsoever, and very red fins for their size. Whenever you can post some pics I promise not to object! How's the gibbiceps & 'panda's??? You lucky man, nice to be a friend of Don, right?
Best luck with the new fish, we look forward to hearing more from you!
 
You got some gibbiceps as well hey? Awesome!! I just got two at the fish auction that came from Don as well I believe. Cool fish, wouldn't mind a few more to round them off and possibly get a breeding program going!!

Jon ~ Yeah, there are some HOTT variants of strigata, and also some not so hot ones. Member those red finned strigata/lugubris? Those were hott. I had a variant of strigata that was yellow with red fins. Amazing fish! Only time will tell!!!

Btw...my atabapo IIs are starting to color up! So stoked!! Their heads are getting a reddish tint all over! I can't wait! Definitely want to see pictures of the ones you got from Don!!!
