  • Christmas in October!!!!!!!

    I got a nice present today that I wanted to share with you guys and gals. Picked it up this afternoon at Hobby Airport here in Houston via Southwest Air Cargo. Came all the way from Philly.


    They came in a big box. I'll open it for you.


    The contents arrived safe and sound and each fish was triple bagged.


    I had one heck of a time getting the heavy duty rubber bands off. Ended up cutting them off.


    The contents.............wc moba momma #1


    wc moba momma #2


    and wc moba momma #3.....all from Tyrone at TNT Cichlids where I bought my original wc moba colony back in January of 2005.


    I floated them in my 180g for a few hours and pulled them out and slowly started adding a cup of my tank water every 10-15 minutes for an hour.


    side shot of one still in the bag waiting to join her new tankmates


    I wet my hands and caught each one. Had to put my cheater glasses on to be sure not to miss them. My 17 y/o daughter took the rest of the pics. Thank you sweetie!


    Another hand caught momma smiling for you.......gentle like holding a newborn baby :)


    And another trophy posing for you. Sorry for the blurry photo.


    Check out the happy 50 y/o boy holding one of his 3 new wc moba momma additions. I don't get to be in very many photos since I'm the one usually taking them. My alpha male is going to be especially happy!!!! LOL

    Hope you enjoyed the pics and story as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you.

      I don't care for Fronts, but those are some very nice fish you have there.
      So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...
