Veija argentea

If you order from Cichlids of the Americas and want to offset some shipping costs let me know. I might go in on an order too. I want some Heterospilus and haven't been able to find them locally.

[danotaylor]

That would be helpful Rob, but we relocated to Cincinnati last yr so I am not sure that would work out...

[Rob S]

Oh, ok! That won't work then. I saw Toledo and thought we were closer than that!

[danotaylor]

I didn't realize my location was still up there, my bad mate. I will change that now...

I have a sale lined up for all my discus this Sat. I have been in contact with Dan at cichlids of the Americas and have my order ready for payment as soon as the discus are gone and I have cash in hand. I decided on 2 bifas, 2 argentea, 2 regani, 2 synspilum, and 2 breidohri. I have a local source for some nice green carpintas Escondido which my wife loves. I will probably have to thin the herd or move up to a 180 sometime down the road but I'm looking forward to the grow out of these guys and getting a nice CA display happening once again. It has been 30 yrs!

That sounds awesome Danny cant wait to see how it turns out should be a very fascinating tank.

[danotaylor]

Thanks Brian! These are images from the web, but I hope are close to the shape/color I get with my order once they mature...

[danotaylor]

1 more...

[Brianyfishguy]

Yeah that will be a sight for sure when they get big.  It's so cool to have a tank of big fish!! And with all that color cant wait to see what you do for a scape are you thinking of doing plants too

Dan... While your new stock will look like your attached photos,  when they mature,  unfortunately the breidohri will grow VERY slowly compared to the others. You probably will have to separate them from the others.

[danotaylor]

Thanks Brian I will keep the updates & pics coming as things develop.

That's good to know bud...maybe I won't get the breidohri then as I have no other tank to move them too...I appreciate you telling me that mate!

[Regalblue]

No problem.  They're awesome fish.  I'm currently keeping a bunch in my 135gal.  They just grow SLOOOWWW!

[danotaylor]

Ah cool mate. How big were they when you got them? How long have you had them? How big are they now? Do you have any pics you could show me?

[Regalblue]

They currently range 3-5". Got them at 2-3" almost a year ago

[danotaylor]

Dang, that is slow. Where did you source them? How many do you have? No stress, but I'd love to see a few pics if you have them...
