There's a lot to be excited about with this update! In addition to tons of new fish, there's a special order list below as well, with plenty of wild caught Malawi and Tanganyika oddballs.


One fish I'm particularly excited about is Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi. About 10 years ago, these were around a lot more, but have been absent for a while. They're quite possibly the most colorful cichlid there is, with all three primary colors (red, yellow, blue), and they top out around 3 inches in length. They're great for relatively small planted tanks.


There are some great Vics available as well that I've sourced from Laif Demason, who imported them decades ago from Kenya, and still has ponds full of the progeny from those collections. There have been some funky looking Pundamilia sp. "Crimson Tide" and Astatotilapia sp. "Thickskin" going around lately that look like they've been hybridized at some point, so it's great to know that Laif still has these original strains going strong. I have plenty of these Crimson Tides available now, and the Thickskins are available on the special order list.


I was having some email issues that seem to be cleared up now, but am still struggling to get caught up on answering everything. The best way to get in touch with me is to call me between 9-5 central time Monday through Friday.

He won't be at the BFD as a speaker, but there likely will be a group buy. Dave has always been a generous supporter of the rare fish auction.
