Breeding pairs of Red Shoulder Peacock (Aulonocara hansbaenschi)are producing more fish than my tanks can handle. A couple of 3-4” males and several females available. Located in Castleton VA, ~60 miles SW of DC near Culpepper.

I have offspring from what might be the only spawning pair of Apistogramma cinilabra "Santa Ana" in the US. They are F2. The original WC fish were brought back from a collection trip by GCCA's Jason Libasci. As apistos sometimes do, the pair killed each other. I obtained a group of fry when speaking at GCCA last year, which whittled themselves down to a pair last summer whole out in a tub.

My pair has spawned several times in a 40 gallon community tank. They are excellent parents and planted community inhabitants. The females are vibrant yellow and orange, while males have blue and red around the face, gray lips, and rust orange fins.

Fry at 6 for $30 with pickup in Damascus, MD.

Thank you Chris and grillmaster Bruce for hosting yet another great summer cookout for our group. We are grateful for your gracious hospitality and for opening up your home--and fish room--to us for another year.
