namezmud Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hey all, Just thought I would introduce myself. I keep and breed a bunch of Killifish and Apistogrammas (South american dwarf cichlids) in the lounge room of my flat in Richmond, victoria, australia. Most people's reaction to seeing 15+ tanks in my loungeroom is "oh my god" while thinking "this guy is nuts" while fishy people walk in and go "cool, I want a place like this " Hopefully I can spread interest in the keeping of these two great types of fish and maybe even sell a few fish to those wanting to give them a try.

I got Apisto cacatuoides, viejita (form II), trifasciata (my current fav) and iniridae. I've bred them all except iniridae (my initial pair turned out to be 2 females ) What have you got (and have had)?

namezmud Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hey All, It is amazing what buying a run down house does to your hobbies. I havn't bred a fish in two years. I'm more or less finished the reno and ready to get back into it and catch up with those I have lost touch with. Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namezmud Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 He was. I lost them 12 months ago. They were the "Akure" strain and were my favourites. I hope to get them back. Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
