Yo Joe - 2009 visit to JoeFatFish - Istlanum

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Beautiful fish Gani! the five I picked up from you are getting big. The largest one is now 2.5 inches. They all eat well. Let me know when you spawn these new ones. Thanks again.
 
The female is WC, but from my first trip, so her fins have had since March to grow. The picture is to show what these guys color up to, as the ones from this trip are faded from stress. Same reason why I bumped GMFISHNUT's Istlanum post, for color referance. Both trips were made to very same location...Rio Amacuzac, right under the bridge outside the town of Ixtla. Also Gani thought it would be nice to post pics of my breeder Beani.

That female has perfect fins for being WC. Wish I had the funds right now for a similar quality male:(.
 
Out of curiousity JoeFatFish, do you have a lead on which river those solid velvet black istlanum are? And if so, any plans on them?
 
Solid black?? Wow, sounds awesome! No, I have not even heard of those. Any links I can check them out on? If they are out there, I am sure I can find out were they are, just need some literature and maybe some pics, so I can send to my Mexico sources.
