Intro from Central IL

[Wendy Porch]

Good morning. My name is Wendy Porch and I reside in the small town of Franklin, Illinois. I'm approx. a half an hour drive to Springfield.

I have three favorite cichlids, Apistos, Discus and Angels. I could sit and watch them for hours.

I haven't had much luck with the Apistos that I have bought online. The local fish stores either do not carry many at all or they have just males. I truly want to know where my fish come from so a LFS really isn't an option for me either.

I am new to the Apistogramma Cichlid and have a lot to learn. Learning is one reason I joined Apisto.com The other reason is to find a reputable source to purchase Apistos from. I'm tired of spending money with the same online source and the Apistos arriving dead or dying an hour after they arrive.

Looking forward to learning and also meeting great Cichlid people here at Apisto.com

Wendy

Thank you so much, Rob. I'm not giving up. I absolutely love them.

I currently have 2 orange flash cacatuoides - 1 male and 1 female and 3 wild caught Rotpunkts that survived. I've had two shipments of the cacatuoides sent and totaled probably 12 that were sent to me. I had 8 Rotpunkts delivered and I have 3 left.

I was just watching my male chase my female a bit ago. They are so fun to watch.

I'm hoping to find someone on here, as you suggested.

Welcome, Wendy! I grew up in O'Fallon...

You'll learn a lot here and it's fun, too!

 

[Wendy Porch]

Thank you so much. What a small world it is. I go through there quite a bit in the spring and fall.

Discus and angels. Tuff fish to care for. I could never do them. My Congo tetras are gorgeous though! LOL!

I, too, love to just sit for hours and watch my fish. Fishless folk just don't get it. They are such beautiful creatures. (The fish - NOT the fishless folk.)

Gotta get my eyes looked at... I read your name as "Perch," and thought "My! Isn't that fitting." (blush)
