I agree...
tank requirments for festae
- Thread starter Aphilophus
- Start date
I agree...
then you rehome them if you cant take care of them.
i never said anything about relying on someone to give you a tank, i just gave examples.
regardless of what you think, it doesnt matter. minimum tank sizes are all relative. and you DO NOT need a 125 for festae. nuf said!

Hey Camph
Irrespective of the inquiry origin or situation, and not to mention that I don't visit many threads on any particular site, there is one common thread I have encountered in your posts.
I hate to run the risk of changing the topic of this thread, but no matter, you've already tried to accomplish that. Unless I've missed something here, the price of the fish + shipping was not the subject of this thread.
Was there a question mark after that statement in the post?
No, I'm not defending the price of a fish and/or cost of shipping (did you happen to note the to and from addresses of this transaction before posting your no cents?)
I have not mislead or misinformed the customer in question. I am not making this post to further discuss the sized tank a pair of festae require to thrive.
I am simply here because of the repeated references you post in attempt to point cichlid hobbyists away from making purchases from my business. It's not constructive. It's annoying. It's unrelated to the topic - again.
Save all of us the drama and please email me directly.

Jeff, not to be offensive but I think you charge too much for your fish. From what I know you get your fish from most of the same people everybody else is getting them from and you charge more than all of them. I can get (most) fish from the same stock you get yours from locally without paying for shipping. People always just come to you because you're the biggest supplier for new worlds. I understand you've worked hard at becoming the best in the biz but I still think you charge too much for your fish in comparison to others. I have never personally done business with you, but I do check your stocklist often. It's not that I'm trying to keep people from buying from you, I'm just letting them know there are others out there and when they're spending $120 on two fish it might be a good idea to shop around first.
sorry to the OP for derailing. Jeff if you want to talk to me privately, send me a PM.

they seem to grow real slow a 75/90 should work for a while. Ive had a single female in a 50 fo a couple months and she got a ways to go before that tank is too small
if im not correct correct me but i do believe one tank would be more financially efficient than 2. if you cant afford the right size tank now wait till you can. if you buy a smaller tank then youre out that money and have to get another one eventually. i just think it would e easier on your pocketbooks to get a bigger tank for those fish. they will; however, fit in a 75/90 for a while.
