May 6th, 2008
Good morning!
I received a wonderful order last evening! There are a great deal of highlights, the absolute show stopper though has to be the Paretroplus nourissati. They came in as full size breeders of this very rare cichlid. A very cool new Aulonocara stuartgranti "Makondiwa" came in fully coloured and I was able to get the green face peacock (saulosi) in trios!
Some great size mbuna are in stock, many of which came in holding! The OB yellow chin zebra turns into one of the more spectacular marmalade mbuna of the lake. Males go blue with the blotches and females remain a vibrant orange with the blotches. I also have been able to receive Albino Zebra obliquidens and at a good size, too! Some very healthy Tropheus also arrived.
I will try to get more pictures of the highlights when they manage to get some rest from the shipping.
Cheers,
Spencer

Paretroplus nourissati - If not the best looking cichlid, definitely in the top two from Madagascar. The fish came in absolutely fantastic in size and colour, as can be seen here right out of the bag. One of the smaller cichlids from Madagascar, these are pretty much full size and in spawning condition. It is extremely rare that I am ever able to get them at this size and normally all of them are pre-spoken for. This is the first time I have ever had any left available for the list! When calmed down they actually get a lot more orange too! |

Tropheops macrophthalmus "Albino Red Shoulder" - This little fella turns into a stunning fish. As it gets older, the yellow will go bright red on the shoulders of the males! Tropheops has to be one of the most under-valued genera from Lake Malawi as these are the equivilent to Tropheus for the lake, just without the Tropheus price! |

Melanochromis vermivorus - Another one in the realm of "Why do we not see this fish more?" The males at this size are just turning over to their adult colours and, as you can see by the picture the fish are even holding at this size!

Melanochromis baliodigma "Masinje" - A fairly new species that has not been around overly long. They came in far larger than expected and are already mature, ready to go (at least half of the females were holding upon arrival on this one!) Females are not far off the colour scheme of the males. |
