No prob on the gudgeons man...I think they are one of those fish that MANY people could really enjoy, they just don't know about them!

hey james are you going to the april fish club meeting it will be one of the big auctions dude i hear there is going to be alot of fish and equip being offered up for auction, also we are planning a local native fish collection trip here soon, be cool if you were there, later dude..

I plan on being there... think Tim may go also!

cool look forward to seeing you guys there it will be fun, later..

cool dude i scored the multi's and some gambusia i also got some more amazon swords and some echino bleheri, later man..

Let me know what the multi's do for you...we can prolly work out something for some A. thomasi juvies sometime down the road...

cool, i dug out the multi juvies in my shrimp tank and put them in the brevis tank and so far the ones i got from the club are doing fine but are still staying near the top of the water cool sounds good, later..

james dude i lost all of my fish in the 55gal the royal, jurupari, gold nugget, and tiger barbs the only survivor was the whiptail cat i got from tim, this is what i believed took place, my royal pleco got stuck behind the powerhead and died and i thought he was ok just hanging out there is all, my large ivory snail was also stuck behind a lift tube so these two animals died and my nitrates went really high which caused the barbs to contract a ich and or fungus problem due from stress of high nitrates when i caught it (my fault) not keeping a good eye on it, was way to late so i have everything back in order and i just added a pair of kribs 5 thomasi that i got from kyana and a pair of banjo catfish all are very small right now what else west african can i go with, also my baby multi's i got back when you and tim came to the club turned out to be deformed fish curved backs and gimpy tails but i got them at really small fry so i guess whowever brought them in didnt know they were deformed i have fed them to the frontosa's and congo tetras which they loved as a treat but my adult multi's are doing great i have only lost one out of 6 and that was the smallest one which the congos ate, my congos are pretty big and always hungry, hehehe, dont know why they eat as good as i do, hows the thomasi doing, later dude..

Dude, that is crazy!!! I guess when it rains it pours though huh

The thomasi at the shop are doing great (I think...I actually forgot to check on them when I was there last night )

cool dude i may have to get down there and get a couple more later man..

hey james does tim have some nice size java ferns available for sale also i am out of the large size charcoal that they were putting in fish bags for sale is there any if not i will check back later dude oh yeah i recieved 9 what was sold to me as red cheek congos could you discribe those to me so that i know if they are true, later..

i couldnt find any info on them on the web when i goggled red cheek congo..

Try searching for Telmatochromis, Telmatochromis species or Telmatochromis red cheek, more than likely that is what you have come up with...they are are similar to N. brichardi or julies in their keeping, cool little fish, way less common than they should be.

cool dude thats it, man these guys kicked my brevis out of their shells and instantly started to breed, the female is in the shell with the male gaurding the entrance of the shell, but cool i knew you would know what they were, thanks man, how about that java fern..

I'll have to check on it...I may or may not be there tonight (gotta go to the dentist after I leave UPS and may not feel like going to the shop after that). I know we have a bunch, just don't know what is actually for sale ;-)

I think we have some pellet carbon, but not any of the big chunk carbon.

Thats sweet that the red cheeks are already breeding for ya! Hook me up with some fry when they start producing

no problem dude, most def will, i have read two books on tanganyika cichlids one said the red cheeks get to be 4" and the other said 2" do you know what they will attain, dude good luck at the dentist dont let them knock you out with gas i have heard horrible stories what they do to you while asleep, hehehe, also all that breeding with the red cheeks has thrown my congo tetras into a mating frenzy i guess they can smell it in the water, later bro..

Not sure how big they will get...I would have thought 4" but don't have much experience with them...

Its only bad if you don't enjoy it
BTW my dentist is a woman...and all of her assistants are also

sweet on the female dentist aye, hehehehe,

yeah i am thinking 4" as well with them as far as i can see the smaller ones are female and the males are way bigger, i have a female gaurding eggs in a shell right now so hopefully here soon i will have some babies and what will be nice is all i have to do is grab the shell to remove them, sweet..
