[Big Fish Aquatics]

try hunting down his fish for him,guys gotta hit the books hard to even be able to say the names,,,,

out of all honesty i have the most fun and learn more as i look at your wish lists.

the wheels are turning im working on ways to stock these awesome fish,

great pictures

 

[Madness]

lots of practice. lol Im working on mastering my camera so that I can take even better pics. I really enjoy taking pictures. Its not only relaxing to watch the fish, but also very relaxing to take photos of them. I have to take the pics from a distance, cause I swear all my fish come crowd the picture once they see me with a camera. unk: I have taken a few videos of them all, but cant get the videos to upload into my 20year old computer. Mainly cause my disc drive is broke and I cant load up the software to allow my comp to recognize my camera. But I am working on that.

you could always upgrade that old tower?... btw you can always download drivers for software programs. any company worth a darn "Should" have their software available online for download. take a look and perhaps call your software company and ask.


PS: windows 7 recognizes any camera without any installs :cheers:

 

[Madness]

Camera's yes, video camera no. I thought about downloading the software from the web. Ill play with that later today.

Have been tinkering around with my old camera before I break down and buy a new one. Here are some new pics and some updated ones. I'll try not to go to crazy, I took 173 pictures.

Amazing collection!

Where did you find your zonatum? Been looking for one of those and a hartwegi forever.

 

[Madness]

This Zonatum I got from Jeff @ Big Fish Aquatics, he ordered it for me through SeaGrest farms. But I believe they got it from Gage @ cichlidconnection.com. Gage is where I usually order my unusual fish from. Ive gotten my female Loisellei, female Grammode, Nurasatti, Rhytisma, Robertsoni, Nicarguensis, Sieboldii, all from him. He has 2 different types of Zonatums, found in different lakes. Each one looks a bit different. I am going to place another order with him soon too, and am going to order some more Zonatum.

Im looking at his list now and he has Hartwegi available from 1.5" @$3 to 9" @$70.

His prices are great and his shipping is reasonable.

Dude your gonna need like 3000 gallons worth of aquariums to house all of those as adults..... very nice collection. In the future if you are planning on getting rid of any female loisselei, female salvini, or any istlanum (btw where are they from), please let me know.

 

[Madness]

I have 2-3 3" Loisellei, have know idea what the sex is. I do have a beautiful 5" female Loisellei, but shes not for sale. As for Istlanums, may be able to get them from a local breeder.

Who Mel? How much are you asking for the loisellei?

 

[Madness]

Ya, Mel has had Istlanum's available, but it has been a couple months. As for the loisellei, $10 ea.

 

[Adonijah]

Whats soon?

 

[Madness]

I have know idea, every day is a new adventure.

 

[fishaholic]

OMG. Those are awesome. Right now I am drooling, and that is so unladylike. I only dream of having that collection.

 

[Madness]

Thank you. It has taken a long time to hand pick some of my fish. I still have several grow outs that are going to either need a bigger home hear, a new home somewhere else.

Time to expand the fish room. unk:

 

[Anonymous]

Madness you need to host a meet up. People love the pics of your fish, and I dont think the pics do the fish justice. Your pretty good with a camera (way better then me). But in person, your fish are amazing. I want to see peoples jaws drop at your male dovii. Lol. I love this guys collection. When I buy fish to breed I try to get ones he dosent breed so I have a chance of resell because his fish are all so nice, I would have a hard time "competeing with them".

 

[DMD123]

madness needs to charge admission!

 

[Madness]

Thanks a lot VW. Maybe once the room is expanded. But not a bad idea.
