Hmmmm - my mother had kids at 15 but still made it to 5'.5" -- maybe it was all the sauerkraut she was eating.

I got my first batch of 2012 live food today. Ponds are still a bit sparse but did collect enough fairy shrimp and glass worms to give 28 full grown Discus a good meal.

I don't know --seems to me if the female's reproductive organs and parts are ready to go all should be good

Never you mind. These are not the fish you're looking for... [waves fingers and performs Jedi mind trick.] I think they might be! I better make it 3-4 bags -- you girls low on feeders or something ?

I haven't decided which apisto's yet and the only angel that I will be bringing is myself

What's a crystal rainbow tetra? latin name? Trochilocharax ornatus

Just had a quick look around to see what I'll be bringing. 2 Eheim 2213 canister filters 1 36'x12x12 tank with 6 compartments in it 1 big bag of air pumps 1-2 bags of apisto's 1-2 bags of crystal rainbow tetra's 1-2 bags of guppies 3-4 bags of Africans 2-3 bags of catfish and some more stuff I haven't decided on yet

Yes the small clear ones are looking like the crt's I received before, but hard to tell till they put on some more meat. I don't think the others are Cichlids, when they are not eating they lay on the bottom of the tank flat on their sides -

Here are some pics of the Discus that arrived Thursday evening Symphysodon aequifasciatus Sympysodon aequifasciatus - red spotted

OK got a few shots from the stuff that arrived Thursday evening I still need to get over to Harolds and take pics of the new fish at his place. Silver Barracuda Zebra oto's chowing down on seaweed Apistogramma cacatoides Blue tetras

These guys came in from Peru, I think I know what they are but I am not positive. There are 2 different species in the pics - both unidentified. They are between 5 - 7 mm

I'm thinking any biological filter is capable of keeping nitrates at zero - it all depends on the bio load. I will check out the videos after I finish my water changes

You can order good bags from Kensfish http://www.kensfish.com/shipping-supplies.html

To get albino's both parents need to carry an albino gene, if I remember right. If the offspring from your brood breed with each other they will produce albino's.

you will get no albino's

I'm not sure on your time frame but when we get in fish from South America they have been in bags for 3 days usually. Sometimes they are fish in excess of 18 inches.

I found another nice wild red Angelfish it comes from Rio Cuiuni in Brazil.Here is a link you have to scroll down to June 2009. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for them to show up on exporters stock lists also. http://www.amazon-aquatics.de/_html/aktuell/index.html

50 cal ? ehhh no sport in that I'm gonna use my o/u Beretta with 3 1/2 inch slugs, pull both triggers at the same time and crack em right between the eyes.

The way I understand it Brazilian fish are smuggled to Peru. I'm thinking smuggled fish most likely won't be tossed in as filler on an order.

No need to be sorry all help is appreciated. I just copy and paste the ideas into google and check em. I seem to have trouble navigating PlanetCatfish search function and if I post the pics there the ID help is often inconclusive for some reason.

Maybe Peru was an inductive guess. nope they definitely came in one of our Peruvian shipments

Both the leucomelas and ambiacus look very close the agassizii are from Brazil.

I think a glow in the dark woolly mammoth would be a neat pet.

They look alot like C.melanistius except the spots are larger on mine and C.melanistius comes from Guyana.

Got these guys a while back. They came in an unmarked bag from Peru. Any ideas ? If anyone wants them contact Harold (fairdeal) I have 16 of em.
