Specials:   Breeding Colonies or Breeding Pairs available for 4-5 species

Specials on f2 (or less) tank-raised fry.   All my fry are offspring of unrelated parents, and are show-quality fish.  They are fed an extremely healthy diet devoid of DNA-Damaging GMO SOY that is in 95% of popular prepared fish foods.  Due to the attention I place on genetic integrity and selecting unrelated parents, I avoid the genetically damaged fish you see so frequently at your local fish store.  Local stores are occasionally preserving margins during the economic depression by buying very low-quality in-bred "fish farm" fish.  These 'lowest price' fish remind me of aquatic versions of George Bush or Dick Cheney.  They are examples that natural selection should have weeded out long ago.

Fry For Sale (from 1/3" on up):

Name	Comments	Size	Price Ea.	Picture
Melanochromis auratus	This fish is arguably the most beautiful freshwater fish ever to dazzle the hobby..  Originally called the 'Golden Nyasa Cichlid' (back when Lake Malawi was known as Lake Nyasa), this was the most prized and exotic looking new fish of the early 1970s that started the African Cichlid Craze.  Males turn a distinctive black/brown as they mature and become dominant.  These are a mouthbrooding species.	1"	50 cents to $1.50 depending on size - a Steal for very high-quality examples.	All juveniles have above (female) coloring.  As the males 'feel their oats' they develop the darker coloring below, females remain as above.
Pseudotropheus zebra (albino)	Exceptional examples of these beautiful 'mbuna' from Lake Malawi.	1"	50 cents to $1.50 depending on size
Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos	This fish has not been seen in local stores for years...perhaps ever.  Stunning	1"	$2.00	Excellent Description of Fish
Julidochromis dickfeldi	A Tanganyikan cichlid that charms us with it's strange swimming posture. These are a substrate spawner.	1-2"	$2.00	Sep09
Pseudotropheus salousi	A dwarf mbuna with some great colors.  These are not a highly aggressive mbuna.  They will thrive and even breed in a smaller tank  Best of all they are sexually dimorphic at maturity.  (This means, like the Auratus, or the Kenyi Cichlid, it is very easy to tell adult males from females).  In the case of salousis, the males migrate away from the juvenile (and female) yellow coloration to a vertical blue & black striping.	1"	$2.50	a Beautiful dominant male salousi with a female behind him It is interesting to note that the "Kenyi Cichlid," Pseudotropheus lombardoi, is also 'sexually dimorphic'  (males and females appear substantially different).   Yet, in the Kenyi's case, it is the females who have vertical blue striping and the males are yellow.  With the salousis, this is reversed:  females are yellow, males have blue vertical striping.
Tilapia snyderae		1+"	$2.00	This is an endangered dwarf cichlid from Lake Bermin, West Africa.  The fish range in in color from a rusty brown to a reddish brown.  Considerable conservation work has been carried out in N. California to maintain this endangered fish. You are invited to carry on this objective.
Enterochromis sp. 'red back scraper'	'Victorian Flameback'	1/4" 3/4"	.50 1.50
(to qualify for a 50 cent price you must spend at least $20...I don't have time for onezies and twozies).  Otherwise my fish fry are $1 for smaller sizes on up.

Seeing my fish:   I love to show off my fish.  I am extremely busy, however, and ask that you respect my time.   I cannot make myself available to 'window shoppers.'   I do not maintain regular hours like a fish store.   I will do my best to work with you.  Weekends and weeknights are my best opportunity.  I live in Downtown Sacramento. 

 

Email is the best way to reach me.  (or call me 916.444.6500).  If I can't answer,  Please leave me a voicemail.  I'll return your call promptly.
