African Cichlids Aquaculture - THE PICS

[marauder_77868]

Ok...this is my first attempt at posting pics....my apologies ahead of time if this doesn't go well.
Since Rob and I had quite a few featherfins and cyps coming in on the order, we opted to acclimate those ourselves. Rob met Mike at about 7:30 and got to the shop tonight at about 8:15. We dripped everything. All of these pics are taken when the fish have been out of the box less than an hour. Everything came in real nice, as you will see...with almost 0 DOA's. Ok....here we go...

This first few pics are of the 210 in the back of the store...it now houses Ophthalmotilapia ventralis "Gombe" and Cyprichromis "Jumbo Blue Orchid"






The next are Cyprichromis "Jumbo Isanga" in a 125.




Finally...Paracyprichromis nigripinnis and Paracyprichromis brieni



Obviously I have a cheap camera and it matches up with my skill level. Everything looked excellent and you can imagine the colors tomorrow after they settle in a bit. Come by Fish Ranch and have a look if you'd like before we take them home!

REALLY NICE! Can't wait to see them. You must have some awesome setups at home to put those in. Also, a pretty awesome gf to let you bring them in!  
Thx for the pics.

Re: African Cichlids Aquaculture - THE PICS

How many DOA's did you have?

Nice fish!!!!

[marauder_77868]

Re: African Cichlids Aquaculture - THE PICS

DOA's were 2 isangas and two or three each of the nigripinnis and the brieni...have lost none since.

Re: African Cichlids Aquaculture - THE PICS

And maybe I don't say it enough...but I really do appreciate Marion letting me clutter up the house with fish.

Re: African Cichlids Aquaculture - THE PICS

What happened to the rest of you two's order?

Re: African Cichlids Aquaculture - THE PICS

Charles,

The fish look great.  I wish I had a little better photos to share, but all of mine are not so good, sand substrate all kicked up, waterstains everywhere...I feel bad now...

Re: African Cichlids Aquaculture - THE PICS

We get the rest of the order with everyone else. These were just the types that only Rob and I had boxes of.
