Hi Dave,I hope everything works out for you with your mail order deal, I only did that once in the mid nineties, when I was starting to get interested in Apisto's. Did Harvey say anything about why the order never happened? I'm just curious because he seemed eager to put some new species in the tanks at THR. Again best of luck with your new arrivals, Dave
I'm going to HR in a few minutes. Harvey has been trying to deal with the logistics of getting the apistos. I'm not sure the timing of shipment coincides with HR visits to Philly airport. He sounds optimistic. I mentioned Atlantis and the Czech Republic sources.
Three of my nannochromis arrived dead, but the seller was very good, issuing full refund. The remaining fish are doing well: pair of panduro, 1 male baenschi, male nannochromis.
But, it's just too risky, and I really don't like not seeing what I'm getting. My impatience with the LFS's is why I breakdown and do it, despite my better judgement. I don't want to wait 2-3 years for a particular type of fish, like nannochromis.
FYI, panduro appears to be a pretty hardy fish. I think they have some at TFP.
Will let you know what I see/hear at HR today.
