Tangled Up In Cichlids stock for Aq. Mania

bigguapote

Members
I'm looking forward to meeting many of you in less than a week at Aqua Mania.
My wife and I will arrive on Saturday. Pre-orders may be picked up on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.

Below is my current stock list from which you may pre-order fish.

Feel free to reply with any comments. I would kindly ask that each person who wishes to ask specific questions about stock or place a pre-order with me to email me directly at bigguapote1@verizon.net

Of course you can always view the most currently updated stock list at my web page http://www.tangledupincichlids.com
This link is where I tend to post photos of recent arrivals or photos of any species I wish to highlight.
To view the stock list from the home page, please click on button at top of page that reads 'Stock List'.

I know that sounds redundant, but you have no idea how many emails I get each week from folks asking what size and at what price is a given species that they saw a photo of on my home page.

*this list may be easier to view at my web page. I pasted/copied the stock list below. I'm sorry I think it looks a little cumbersome to read.

I was wondering if anyone was keeping those. Always hear dovii and umbee but not much about the old world giant

I got my order in last night. I had to show restraint, though. So many cool fish, so few empty tanks...

I am accepting pre-orders up to and including Friday.

In addition, I will be bringing many fish for sale from tanks I'll set up at vendor table.
I really have no idea yet what I'll pack up to bring yet.

If you see something that you like on the stock list and wish to make a 'pre-medidated purchase', please don't hesitate to email or call me.

Otherwise, there exists the opportunity to impulse shop for fish as well.
Of course it need not be an uneducated purchase as I'm happy to share any info on the fish you may inquire of.

If you've ever wanted to order larger-sized fish from Jeff but were iffy about having them shipped... have him bring them to you at AquaMania!

Working on my order now...

I'm also pleased. Everything I ordered came healthy and colorful. I was especially happy because my whole order was wild caught.

Jeff,

Thanks for the awesome pleco! I have a tough time with impulse purchases... BTW you were totally right I regret not picking up the ray. Maybe I can order a pair in the near future!

Drew
 
Jeff wanted to say thanks for the preorder plecos as well as the blue phantom I picked up today. I am definitely looking forward to doing business with you in the future once I recover from AM2 weekend
