Thanks to my good friend Alan Rickers in Idaho for a fun part of my weekend. Young sunflowers, dogs and fishes along with plenty of shooting the breeze.

Thats the largest number of shipping boxes I’ve ever squished into my car. Picked them up from The Waterfront in Murray after dropping off fish at the airport. Louis and Taylor always take good care of me. 12 boxes. Gave them blood worms and smaller shipping boxes in trade.

Two young 2.5”/6.3cm male Cyprichromis sp. “Brilliant Jumbo” Moba showing off. As they grow, the color starts in the fins and then at 3”/7.6cm, it spreads to the body.

When your Altolamprologus calvus “Chisanze” Yellow see that you’re bringing the baby brine shrimp!

Have never had any Lamprologine ever spawn as regularly as this young Neolamprologus caudopunctatus pair, not even other Caudo pairs I’ve had. They spawn every three weeks, whether I take out the older fry or not. If I don’t take out the older fry, the parents will first drive them to the other end of their 10g/38l tank, and then kill them once the younger fry become free-swimming. My Neolamprologus signatus are equally intolerant of the fry from older spawns in their 10g/38l tank and become murderers. I have to be very careful to remove both species’ fry from their tanks before the pairs spawn again.
