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.
