My first book “ My Experience Keeping Lake Malawi Cichlids" is now available in paperback through Amazon.com See https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TYJYCBJ?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 This 256 glossy print page book with photos is a guide for keeping Lake Malawi fish. The main focus is on Aulonocara Peacock Cichlids and Lake Malawi Haplochromines with a small amount of Mbuna. My book covers water conditions, Bio, Cycle, pH, Idea Temperature, hiding places, Food, Breeding, Illness, How to Keep these fish successfully, companion fish, tank sizes, and most importantly compatibility.
The book is print by demand for $39.9
Please consider buying one when you cannot buy fish or during the winter months when fish sales are slow due to shipping delays. Sales of these books will help me keep my business going. I hope to have an eBook version of this book completed shortly as well. In the future, I plan to work on a guidebook for Mbuna.
Shipping:
If the current forecast holds I will be shipping my orders on hold for SWA Cargo on Thursday, February 4, for delivery out of BWI (Baltimore) on Friday, February 5. I will also be shipping UPS Air orders on hold as well on Thursday, February 4, weather permitting on both ends. UPS Ground orders cannot be shipped on a Thursday due to a risk of them not arriving on time on Friday and be held until Monday for delivery. In addition, UPS Ground orders that need to be shipped out of Lancaster (New York, New York, Cleveland, etc.) have to be shipped on a Monday or a Wednesday. All shipping is limited by weather conditions. I cannot ship when temperatures on either end are below 33 or if there are winter weather issues on either end.
The following is my list for counts this week. Discount Club Members, be sure to log on to get even better prices on the fish listed below. New arrivals are from my last order from my wholesaler. Once they clear out of my quarantine area, I will set up another special order, hopefully in February. Cold weather is delaying shipment of the bulk of the pre-sold fish from that order.
