here's some photos of fish i had back in the day ,trimacs from shannon forest(rare and unusual cichlids)a really deep bodied midas and a pair of synspylum that i tried to breed but never could and 2 texas cichlids one cyanoguttatum and carpintus . i have tons more . my niece just showed me how to scan them . hey ken remember when i went up to your house a couple of years ago and got those umbee's and i told you i had a massive texas about 20 years ago(we were checking out your carpintis) ,here he is finally at about 11 inches ,but hella deep , the bite on his tail was from a snakehead .i had the the carpinte about10 years ago..........look at the trimac in the iguana photo , thats real trimac before flowerhorn was around around 1985 i think. that was one of my favorite fish..

Cool shots. But I think your guess on the date of that Trimac photo (1985) is a little off. If I had to guess, I'd say you snapped it sometime around January 10, 1987.

ya , its dated , but i got them somewhere around 85 , i have another photo thats dated 85 of that trimac and his mate but a bad photo . i actually bought the pair from shannon for 250 bucks in 1985 that was alot of money back then , he killed her and thats how he ended up by himself , plus who cares it not a really big deal , peace alright . i graduated in 82 and have alot of photos from before that ...
 
great fish... you were ahead of your time
