Man! I went before my vacation and saw them was going to buy a female cacatuoides. Decided to wait till after I came back. When I came back they were all gone! Now I know the culprit!

They had great turnover and plan to get more.

Yea I talked to them they said they currently can't get any more cacatuoides but they are looking for them. Thanks for the heads up though! I am currently working about 10 mins from them. Great store!

I was there yesterday afternoon. The had a tank with several triple reds. This must be a new batch, because they weren't there of Thursday. I forgot to ask if any were females, but there were several fish in the tank. They also got a batch of fire red aggasizi. Harvey is the one to ask for. I believe they brought him on board to rejuvinate their fresh water section. He's got a great deal of experience and is very accomodating. He worked for Tetra for many years. Since he came they are getting the apistos, Phillipine blue and koi angelfish, and some quality discus. Hope you find what you want.

Thank you so much Kevin! I actually drove last week and got a female from that pet place last weekend so I don't need it anymore but knowing they have more apistos in I might stop by and see their stock since I work so close. Did you see any rarely sighted apistos?

 

[Kevin F Smith]

The only "rare " apistos that I saw left are: pantalone, and bitaeniata. Bitaeniata is rare for me because the last time I saw them in a pet shop they were still called kleei. I had never seen pantalone before, anywhere.

The other apistos still remaining in decent numbers: borellii, and some agassizi labelled: Tefe pearl blue.

Did you see anything else at TFP? I need to make a trip there for some plants. Ay west africans like pelvicachromis? Any checkerboards?
Thanks!

I believe I saw some checkerboard not 100% on that I was mainly just there for my cacatuoides female. I did grab some dwarf baby tears which were looking nice. Other then that I only glanced at everything else.
