Wild Apistos...time for another order

[aquaticclarity]

The fish are do in tomorrow. I most likely won't be able to confirm anything until I actually have the fish though...last time the fish were do in on a Wednesday and I didn't actually get them until Thursday because of flight issues.

 

[aquaticclarity]

It's going to be a late one...or early one depending on your point of view.

The fish wil be in tonight at Midway in the Chicago area as arrived in the US to late to make a flight into Milwaukee today. The flight SHOULD be in around 11-11:30pm. It's almost a 2 1/2 hour drive one way with the construction on the interstate so I won't get back and have eveything unpacked until around 3am assuming everything goes smoothly. So don't expect pictures or an update for a while!

Animal,

The best laid plans of mice and men...........

The fish are in and everyone is finally unpacked. A nasty storm had some major veins through Chicago shut down last night and delayed flights by several hours so I finally got home this morning around 3:30 and only unpacked a few things right away.

The fish are great again! The baenschi are nice and large, the bitaeniata have a ton of color, the cacatouides and agassizii look like last batch, the eremnopyge are incredible (1st time I've seen this fish in person), and the barlowi look really nice.

The angels...looks like I got subbed 11-12 large angels to round out the medium size I ordered. I'll have an invoice in short order (hopefully) and will add the larger size to the list. Regardless these are some spectacular angels! Nice clean fish with good color and markings and large fins.

And last but not least the Copella eigenmanni. They have a neat "checker board" stripe down their side that already has a hint of red to it. These should make a great dither fish in a South American tank.

Pictures of the new stock to follow over the weekend.

now you have me in a quandry wether to tak the angels or the eremnopyge only the pictures will tell glad that in the end it all worked out well

Yes, after a night of sleep all but a few of them look like norberti-orange lips on several and the rounded caudel.

I sent you a PM, have you seen it yet?

The one from yesterday afternoon? Got it. I need to check on the pair/trio/etc. ratio on the fish you asked about. I MIGHT be home long enough this afternoon to get a rough read on the ratios and get back to you. Otherwise it will be tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Sorry for the delay...lot's going on in prep for the ACA convention in a few weeks!
