The offer:

5 wild Steatocranus gibbiceps shipped for $100

$10 of all 5 lots that come through www.apistogramma.com will be donated to apisto.com in the purchaser's name

The first person to breed and raise fry to 30 days of age from the S. gibbiceps that they get from me receives $200 in fish/drygoods of your choice from www.aquaticclarity.com

The rules:

photographic proof of spawn/fry or in-person verification by me is needed to confirm spawn/fry

10 sets of 5 S. gibbiceps must be sold for the contest to take place (up to 14 sets are available)

all fish will be sent out USPS Priority on Monday June 8th (unless you need the fish sent later)

Payment by paypal to [email protected]


Steatocranus gibbiceps are an easy to keep buffalohead type that are rare in the hobby. You keep and bred them just like their better know sister species S. casuarius. The most notable difference between the two species is the scale color pattern. The scales of gibbiceps have a light colored center and dark outline while those of casuarius have a dark center and light colored outline. A 20 long aquarium with several caves and other structure will easily house a pair. No special water requirements should be needed for keeping or spawning these fish.

How many fry do they have to raise and how many takers do you have so far?

Jim,

I didn't set a number of fry needed, enough to prove they spawned...so one? :wink: Let's make it 5 fry.

I have few people on the fence as well as already signed up. It's looking like the shipping date will get moved back one week so I can get some auctions up to fill at the number of people in the contest.

Jeff
