Yo madness!

where did you get those awesome beauties?

 

[Madness]

Sorry you must have missed it. I got them from Jeff Rapps, I announced a group buy from him on here ( http://www.wafishbox.com/t7043-group-buy-from-jeff-rapps ) that ran from March 22 to April 2.

I may be doing another one in 2 weeks, havent decided yet. All the beautiful fish that Bassetman has post up the last few days, also came from Rapps. Jeffs link is on the above thread.

Very nice! I was not able to get in on this last group buy because I spent my 'allowance' on a new 36w UV and some changes to the fish tank plumbing. (Also got a new blu ray player).

Still trying to figure out what to do with my stock.... so I might get in on the next order.

Looking forward to some more pictures!

They were the 6-7" Rd's

I really like that deep red color.... way more unique than the ones commonly found around here! nice pic up!

Wait till you see the one thats coming next week. : :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

 

[lloyd378]

labiatus 5-5.5”/6-6.5”/7-8” 65.00/80.00/100.00 Granada, Lake Nicaragua; amazing colored red devils w/ enlarged lips!

Gonna try and get this guy:

[lloyd378]

those are some crazy big lips! I really like that red coloring too. a little too rich for my wallet, though, as my wife wouldn't be thrilled with me paying 100 for just one fish. haha



So are those large lips a trait that gets passed down from the WC to their F1 fry?

I would lean towards not really. Maybe a little, cause the lips are a product of their environment and where they are located. They are that way to help when it comes to feeding.

 

[lloyd378]

that's what i was unfortunately thinking too, but I wanted an expert opinion.

now for my next question, after a few years in captivity, do you think that they will make an adaptation and actually shrink their lips? I only ask, as the large lips are a definite selling point in my eyes.

also, when is your next purchase? I might be looking at one of his fish, if the timing is right (im on a staycation next week)

My WC male 3.5 years old and 13" long. Id say no.

That fish is awesome!

 

[lloyd378]

wow, he has bigger lips than i remember. do you have any pictures of when you got him?

 

[Madness]

Here is his progression

OMG someone get those fish some chapstick! How cool is that?!! They look so much better with the big lips. Kinda reminds me of my own Mick Jagger lips. How come we don't see this type in local stores?
