  • favorite fish

    ive had lots over the years.my 1st fave was j dempsey,until I found out Oscars got twice as big.red tail cat cured me of that kind of thinking.these days, neolamprologus buesheri near the top for me.mean when their growing out,worse when they get big.hard to find.expensive.got plenty of adult males.eventually two find each other and once they pair up,the battle is over.typical brood size,6-10.single adult males make decent tang community
    fish.most of their aggression is conspecific.picked up my first pair 20 yr ago at an auction.been doing lamps ever since.

          Free fish:

          Do I receive tropical fish or flounder with hush puppies and homemade fries? Either will suffice.

          It is disappointing that most people are now only using this site for Classifieds.

            I'm also interested in some Tangs on your list Charles. When are you going to be at your fish house tomorrow?

                  It can be tough directing folks here, just using these forums gives folks fits. There are still a lot of us that remember the heydays here and use it to research and just read over old posts.

                              Really most are on Facebook now, I try and crosspost all our GHAC events here as I love the site. I have tried pushing it over there and occasionally win a few folks over, but not sure how to get them back over here
