Teleocichla, Geophagus, Hisonotus and 2016 CAFE Convention

It seems winter has finally decided to show up. Hopefully everyone is enjoying the extra time indoors with their fish. A quick update on the Hisonotus aky. They just keep on producing and at one point we found 68 eggs in one day! The first fry are approaching 1/4". We hope to be able to offer these later this year.

A few other fish seem to be in the mood this Valentine's Day including our Teleocichla monogramma and Geophagus megasema. The Teleocichla did lay eggs but a few days later they were gone. They are still young yet so it may just take them a little more time. The Geophagus came close to spawning and even had their spawning tubes down. I think they are close and it will not be long until we find eggs. This all said, it is time for us to add a few additional 50 gallon breeders for grow out tanks. Now if we can just find the time to set those tanks up.  Until then, see our quick video of the Geos going through courting.


Last, do not forget that registration is now open for the 2016 Columbus Area Fish Enthusiasts Convention (CAFE). CAFE has lined up a group of great speakers once again along with vendors, a swap meet, silent auctions & an all day auction on Sunday. Do not miss out on our New & Rare  auctions which will be going on throughout the event! Click on the link for more details: 2016 CAFE Convention
