    It's too bad I like those aggies, I wouldn't mind getting a pair but that drive is too far plus the toll ugh!

    Hey Bobblehead do you have any photos? I'm looking for some nice normal aggies (not the pale golden form) with a nice bright red or blue tail.

    Same water as all my apistos, I don't even keep track of parameters any more but it's basically just a very low KH RO water

    Thank you for the update Kevin! By the way I meant to let you all know I now have sexed Nanochromis splendens for sale.

    They may breed by then but it will be months before they are ready to go. Borelli is a very slow growing species. Let me know whenever you want to stop by, easier to email me at [email protected]

    Keep in mind also if you come to visit you get to see all my fish, I've got 6 species of apisto and 2 other dwarf species currently. This coming Friday I'll be adding 2 more apisto species A. cf. Borelli and A. cf. commbrae both wild caught from Uruguay.

    Bring me your two males and I'll give you a female or two if you want. If not I sell the females at $15 a fish, I'm located a bit further than philly though. I'm in Oxford PA which is a haul for you. I *may* be going to forked river NJ on Thursday night for new years however I can't say for...

    At that size they should get more colorful but it should also be showing a bit as well, all yours have clear fins. However they may still gain color. Also, I hate to say it, but I think they may all be males. Again all small so it's hard to say. Here is one of my nicer females. She is...

    Hey Bob my females are right around the 1 inch mark. Have any pics of the fish you received? I'm in the market for a nice male to expand my genetic line.

    Sounds good Kevin, I will keep you in mind once they get to their proper size. Female is already plumping up and I expect I will have more eggs in a week or so. How is snub nose doing these days? My pairs are no longer producing orange flash fry, looks like I'll have to invest in a pair of...

    Hey guys just checking in to see how everything is going. My Nanochromis splendens have finally brought out some nice free swimming fry, they are 1-2 weeks old now and growing quite fast! These fry are much much more easy to care for than apistos! Gerald seems it shouldn't be long before I...

    Kevin I've found you some Nanochromis parilus for sale. Ted Judy has them currently.

    Yea I've been wondering about that! Mine has her ovapositor out also. Very strange, maybe I will reintroduce them

    any apisto's available in the Philly metro area?

    Kevin how I'm keeping them is not really ideal. I use the same water for them as my apistos. All my apistos get RO with a pH of 5 and a KH of 0. However these fish come from the lower Congo where pH is actually around 7. I may try them in tap actually. Gerald I got my male smaller than...

    My N. Splendens are coming along well... splendidly. They have yet to breed for me though. My male was bullying the female very badly I now have a divider in and she is growing very fat. I hope the belly goes pink soon so I can attempt to put them together again. Sorry to hear about your...
