nice john...just read that there`s 5 forms( or subspecies ) of cubans..thats surely why yours looks different than Alex`s

Good to know I thought there was like 3

wow very nice john..

lookin' good

common guys, you all read the same doc,the one I forward to yo! guess John have more Bacardi then Chuck:)
Yeah, 5 subspecies, but some scientist questions that it's not....
I am not in position to judge, but IMO they are different.
BTW, John's Cuban is a male and my female, so the color pattern is different.

I slept since then,Alex!LOL

Forget the bacardi Alex. and get something better.

Alex, wish You could see how this guy looks in the tank,He is light blue and pattern is more black than brown.I believe the blue may come from the background

*Juan, something better = jail time!
*John, I am sure, it is a very nice looking fish, Cuban change coloration dramatically depending of lights, mood, food, etc. I am really considering to get the male from Jeff R or may be trade for Paratheraps breidohri

Alex,either fish You decide will be very nice addition.Did You get the 90 gal then?

John, 110 gal, not 90 gal,lol
48 x 18 x 29 from Perfecto

Good deal man!Perfecto has good tank these days:)

I try to squeeze as much volume to limited space, prolly going to go with pre drilled tank with build in overflow box, and wet/dry filtration. Will cost more money, but save on space and easy maintains. Besides wet/dry is number 1 filtration for large fish.

mmmm alex, breidohri is such a nice fish!

hey Chuck, I just learn about them recently, really like it. Powerful Paratheraps species. I always though about them as a Hartvegi...

Jail time my butt lol hey Alex i saw an over flow box at swap meet regretting i didn't bought it. When are you getting the new tank bro?

ALEX...do you think that jeff rapps can ship to Canada??

Chuck, check out http://www.tangledupincichlids.com/stock.html . He does, but its mega expensive. $250 minimum fish order, and "$100 per shipment for US Fish and Wildlife paperwork clearance and inspections"

Crazy right? Do they really inspect every box?

Chuck Bonjour oui i think in hes page says he ships to internationally.

frank...yes they do...ill forget that!!!

Theres gotta be an easy way to ship you some fish, aside from delivering them to Quebec via minivan :)

Frank is that legal?

The minivan? Who knows, but if I put a couple of baby cutteris in my daughters diaper bag, and drove to Canada, I dont think they'd know ... :) I doubt they have "fish sniffing dogs" at the border or anything :)

lol mmmm sounds like a trip to Mexico to go get some fish!!! where do u live ??

I'm in New York - Long Island to be specfiic :)

Pretty :)

Cool Sounds like a trip for u to Canada.

Do u have a lot of cutteri fry?

Not yet - ordering a breeding pair soon - I keep getting sidetracked with my tank setup ... baby and other responsibilities come first :)

Chuck, if I was you, I'll directly contact Jeff R and ask him this specific question. You never know the outcome. Don't get discourage before you ask bro. See, if you find any LFS store in the area where you live and ask if they want order large quantity of Jeff's fish, your fish cost you nothing, you know what I mean?:)
I know many people in Europe order fish from Jeff (where you think they got most of the rare cichlids), so why not Canada?
If you like, I ask Jeff for you, I made deal with him before.
Lemme know man.
Another option, you offer me a stay when we next time in Tremblant ski, I try to bring you some wet petsJ

Alex u got my email?

Alex, brother...i was just curious, i even never went on his site, but sounds like he has great species to offer...about tremblant, did not went this year??? my house is open to you , buddy...especially if you come with some wet petz!!!

just back from his site( availabilyty list)mmmmmmmm, alot of tempting stuff there..thanks frank

Ya there is. To much. Get in trouble.

Its like a candy store for CA cichlid fanatics :)

Chuck, nope, this year went ski on Hunter mountain NY. btw, Chuck u have mail...
*Juan, yes, thanks, yummy mamasita's:)
