Ok so no one has grammodes in stock or atleast the amount I need to make a pair. They are still on my list but i added some new ones and took some out. Please remember that all fish will be in a 75 to start and will end up in a 150 alone. Sorry this is like my 2nd thread with this but i figure i got time to get feedback from my fellow cichlid lovers. I really want a umbee as so many threads on them have been popping up but i dont wanna sell any of the fish im buying from here on out. I still have 3 fish, the grammodes, istlanum, lyonsi
 
I would go with istlanum they are beautiful when breeding and Jeff Rapps has some in stock....
 
Thanks! I just spoke with Gage about my order with him and he said he has like 50 grammodes at 3". So I don't know what stock list you saw. You've gotta be careful, not every vendor lists every fish in the same genus.
 
Dude, get the fish you want and stop buying them based on stupid polls and other people's choices. This way you will never settle or be happy with anything you get.

In the last few months you've had gars, pikes, polyps, salvini, loisellei... two months ago Cubans were your absolute favorite cichlid... then you wanted festae cuz everybody had festae, then you wanted lyonsi, istlanum, grammodes, now you want an Umbee not because you like it but because people told you it's cool to have one. My money is on Dovii next week lol

How many fish have you bought in the last year? How many of those you still have? :confused:

I agree, and no offense bro. youre not the only one out there that is or has gone thru the same thing. all were trying to say is we would rather see you pick something that YOU like and be happy with it. And like Clockwork said about the vendors not labeling everything, its true. most of the time you have to ask them. Also Cichlidsoftheamericas- Dan has grommode pairs listed on his site. If you want umbees i have some fry still available from the General;) they grow faster than any of the fish you have listed and you dont have to worry about any health issues lol.
But as far as your poll goes i vote for Istlanum all the way. to me they are very similiar to grammode except they grow faster and have better color.
 
havent owned a poly in over a year or longer, salvini died, sold the pikes and freddy because of aggression issues. I havent owned a loiselli either for almost 2 years. Not sure where ur getting that from. This forum is a tool for people not for talking trash through a screen to make urself look big for other users. Lots of people in my area come to me to buy fish because they always ask what i have at the time. Im like a vendor to alot of fish keepers. Yet another reason why this forum is going to crap because of a few people. I was always going with grammodes i just like to see what people say. As for the umbee, I've wanted one for a while now but didnt think it would work solo in a 75 for a while and then a 150. What vendor is gage again i may have thought i called him but i may not have?
