Quick Update - Geophagus sveni

Good news! Our Geophagus sveni "Rio Parana" Wild look to be close to spawning. One of the females had her tube starting to come down. It just goes to show good water quality and food go a long way. They weren't in perfect condition when they arrived but they sure have come around. We may move them to larger quarters soon so that they have a little more room.

Post CAFE Convention

All I can say is wow! What a convention Columbus, OH! What a wonderful event it was last weekend! Special thanks to our guest speakers, Dr. Stephan Tanner, Spencer Jack, Rob McLure and Richard Pierce, our vendors, sponsors, volunteers & everyone who attended. Saturday's swap had it all, plants, cichlids, dry goods, etc. Sunday's auction was the best auction I have ever been a part of. There were some super rare fish such as Pseudohemiodon apithanos & Corydoras reynoldsi! If you missed this convention, you may have missed one of the best conventions in the midwest!  Better luck again in two years.

The fishroom has been pumping out baby fish. Hopefully this continues for the near future. This month we have eggs or fry from Geophagus megasema, Geophagus mirabilis, Melanotaenia pygmaea, Melanotaenia praecox "Pagai" F-1 & hopefully soon, Telocichla monogramma. The killifish also continue to produce but I will save an update on those for a later date. Spring is here, which means Spring Auctions! Hope to see everyone at an event soon!
