    went out to pick up some guppies for one of the 92 1/4 cylinder tanks I sold with the buyer. Visited a local guy.. Vix.. you'd be taking a back seat to his / their mayhem... He's got double dd's the size of saucers.. plants that make my setup look like a desert!...
    So.. for 24 bucks.. Picked up 3 1" albino br plecos.. 2 Paired BLACK guppies.. a bag full of plants.. and.. 10 1.25 inch

    Nice. I'm going to try and head back up there today. I dropped my two tiny Mbunas into my 90G and can't find them at all.

    PM me and I'll send you his name and number. I picked up half a dozen sunset guppies from him last weekend and they're doing great.

    I picked up 6 more Blue Mbuna cichlids today, probably about 3/4" long with horizontal black strips. I believe he gave me two males, 1 alpha and 1 submissive, and 4 females. They're in the 90G tank with the Electric Yellow cichlid which is about 3" long. Everyone's getting along well and the blues are schooling together and exploring the tank. The breeder recommended a 3 rock cave, so I added one of those to the tank so they would have something to remind them of home. Now there are a ton of caves, holes, and hidey-holes for everyone.

    If people are interested, I'll take pics in the AM. Hopefully everyone makes it thru the night and they have a long happy life together.
