Aquaticclarity Order - Want in to split shipping?

[dogofwar]

Aquaticclarity (Jeff Michaels) keeps and breeds some of the most crazy rare Westies and other fish that you'll ever hear about. He was up for ACA breeder of the year for breeding Pungu maclareni...

He just updated his list (http://aquaticclarity.com/fish/) and I'm going to have some fish delivered (to Gaithersburg) next week sometime (not this week).

If anyone is interested in getting in on this order, please let me know...or contact Jeff directly and let him know you want to get in on the shipment.

Jeff's near Milwaukee so I want to get an order before it gets too chilly up there.

Just for suspense, here's what I got:
the coolest fish on the list

Hey Matt,

I'll probably go in with you. I live in Gaithersburg as well. I'll PM ya.

Matt:

I may be interested in the c. dimerus. Do you have any experience with them? How big do they get? I assume they are similar in temperament to ports/acaras.

 

[dogofwar]

Yes - I'm getting the trio from him...and he's throwing in some little ones. Get some more little ones so that we can compare experiences

He calls them "dimerus" because they're an acara but probably an undescribed one.

I have true dimerus (from Constitucion in Uruguay) and they're typical acaras in temperment: eat a lot, not too aggressive and pretty sociable.

Looks like we've got a couple of people in on the order - let's get a couple more

Matt

 

[SubMariner]

I'm in, I'll PM you later this week.

Thanx!

 

[dogofwar]

cool - looks like me and at least 3 more!

Email jeff and let him know what you want...

Good stuff!

Matt

 

[SkoolzofFish]

Hey Matt,
I may be down for those Teleogramma Brichardi. I'll probably email him for info on them.

Rama

 

[dogofwar]

I was looking at those as well

I'd bet that they really mean to each other. There's a good article in this months aca buntbarch bulletin magazine on how to set up tanks for similar type fish

Teleogramma

I emailed Micheal about them and he said they are aggressive over their territory. They are probably just like my colony of Buffalohead cichlids. Aggressive but aren't really killers.

 

[dogofwar]

rheophilic fish can be most brutal on conspecifics

My casuarius buffaloheads were pretty easygoing and even tolerated their babies when they got big enough to spawn themselves. I keep thinking about getting some tinanti...but alas I have too dam many fish as it is!

Never kept teleogramma so ok excited to hear about your experiences with the when you get them . Take pictures

Take care
Matt

 

[aquaticclarity]

Matt, thanks for setting up this group order! I really appreciate the opportunity to send some fish your way and to save everyone some money on the shipping charges.

S. tinanti are really cool and VERY easy to spawn. I've had pairs set up shop in pair bottom quarantine tanks that had some caves in them and get as far as having wigglers in the tank.

Teleogramma brichardi are in my top 2 or 3 for favorite fish from West Africa. They have a puppy dog like personality once they settle into a tank, aren't overly hard to spawn, have easy to raise fry, and the juveniles can stay in the adult tank for a surprisingly long time. The females are gorgeous with their steel grey/black torpedo body, red belly, and vivid wedge of white in their tails. An eye catcher to say the least!

How much for a pair of A. Cacautoides? In the original post it said they weren't ready, but you posted in another that they could be available.

They've just started to color out in the past week or two. The bigger fish are about 3/4" long, give or take. $15/pair

Thanks, but I may have to wait until they are a decent size bigger. I don't have an empty tank to put them in, and they'd get eaten in my discus tank.

Are the P. pulcher Nigerians the Nigerian red version? If so I want six.

 

[cmcpart0422]

ok im in

 

[dogofwar]

Ask Jeff

[aquaticclarity]

You're thinking of Pevicachromis taeniatus Nigerian Red, not P. pulcher.

Here are pictures of the wild caught parents of the Nigerian pulcher:
male and fry

female and fry

Here are the P. pulcher Isokpo:

The P. sacrimontis Red would be the reddest of the kribs that I have right now.

 

[Prince]

Can Two pair of P. sacrimontis cohabitate and spawn in a 55 gallon?
