Dave's Rare Fish Group Buy

[DiscusnAfricans]

Setting up a group buy with one of my favorite vendors, Dave Schumacher. Delivery will be to the hotel friday evening.

Dave is generously offering a 10% discount and free shipping for all orders, and is donating some fish for the rare fish auction as well. Dave has one of the best selection of African cichlids, as well as a great selection of fancy plecos and other catfish.

Order cutoff will be Tuesday March 7th, visit his site at www.davesfish.com. To place an order, email him at daves@davesfish.com, or call him directly at 1-210-599-9444.

His stuff is awesome. Don't miss out on this guys. Just check his stocking list out.

If I were to get back into African cichlids, I'd get my stock from Dave. In addition to being one of the best people in the hobby and really knowing his stuff, he's been generous beyond words to CCA and the hobby.

My order is in. Getting some new blood.

 

[jonclark96]

I want to get something, but not sure what. Any recommendations for something to keep with my phenos in a 55?

 

[CSnyder00]

How many Pheno's do you have?

 

[jonclark96]

A male and 4 females.

 

[Pat Kelly]

I don't know what to tell you to get.
I am picking up some Lemon Jakes to replace the ones I had.
I am picking up some mbuna that I had before but got rid of because
after they grew out I found a genetic defect. Got rid off all and the fry. That hurt. lol

 

[dogofwar]

Phenochilus is a fish that (in my experience with their close relative P. electra) needs to be the dominant fish in the tank to really thrive and breed.

Maybe the Lethrinops "Red Caps"? Beautiful and pretty mild. Was also looking at the Protomelas annectens - a fish that I've had my eye on for awhile and is supposed to be mellow - but looks like Dave's only got females right now.

If I get back into Malawi some time, I'm gonna grow out some giant Taenelethrinops

[CSnyder00]

Yeah, if you've got females, I don't know that I'd put much else in there as you would likely start a war, especially if your fish are adults. If they are younger, you may have a shot.

 

[jonclark96]

I had a pair of peacocks in with them before with no issues. Just looking for something different.

 

[Carolineep]

May I suggest a CARES species?

 

[CSnyder00]

What about some awesome Mbuna? There are so many nice colors and species out there.

I had these for sale at the last BFD. Sold a couple.
Still have the breeders and some fry. Just have not pulled anything since
remodel has been going on.
Seem to be extremely slow grower.
