Are you interested in working something out with the 2" Calvuses? I'd like a bit larger, but they may do alright in my tank...

No can do my friend. I want to keep these guys. If I go to animal jungle I will check what they have. Most people over look the Tanganyika section. I also know a guy that breeds them and yeilds very nice calvus.

Have you checked with Rama over at skoolzoffish for calvus. I know he has them listed on his site right now.

Speaking of calvus and multies, does anyone need any shells? I can bring a mixed bag of nice ones. I got them from Don of cichlidbreeding.com, who is highly recommended on shelldwellers.com. Let me know here.

Are you exhibiting at the fair?

Nah...but we go and make a family day of it. We get the season pass and go alomst every day. Mainly for the horses.

Regarding Rama and the calvuses... Yeah, he has nice calvus (nice fish all around, actually), but his are a little too small to put in my tank... bummer!

Had a great time today. Got to meet a few new people and catch up with some others. Tankgirl's tanks look great as well.

Made it home ok , thanks for the invite or well I kinda invited myself but thanks for allowing me to be a part of the cool people meeting. Let me know how my babies do.

Yes I had a great time today and loved all of tankgirls tanks. It was also great to see fellow hobbist in the nearish area. Lol. Thanks for fish Ben.

All I know is I am thinking about one fish now .........
