Really, I went to Jeff Rapps site. I saw his updated photos. That Red Head Severum is beautiful. I want that fish.

Hes so good that after yo uve delt with him enough times he starts to know what you like and has let me know of things hes gotten in or will be getting. Cant say enough good things!

Well, he did gave me a new stock list around 7/14. In that list, he said that the wild red head severum will arrive around 7/22.
I have requested for another list. He said that he will not do any shipping until after 8/4. Beside, I don't know how big that severum is. In his web site, it said full grown. If there are some small ones...I want 2...male and female. Then I have totally completed my Severums collection :D
OMG. I NEED HELP! I'm addicted....to CICHLID!!!!!

Are there any psychological term for "obsessive with fish"? I think I have contracted that illness Hehehe....
The only way I can convince my bf to let me have my fish is to let him know if he touches my fishy...I will break his golf clubs. Hahaha!!! Beside, I told him that one day I wanna travel and go to some places to either catch and observe some amazing fish in some rivers, lakes, or streams. And he can come with me as long as he lets me keep the fish I catch or something.
Hell, my mom already said I can start my own store soon with all these fish collection. Haha! Yeah...I guess this is sickness.
And I think aquamojo basement is great. I wish to have that kind of setup one day. That will be so cool.

Yes I too have come down with the cichlid sickness, just waiting to move out of my current apartment so I can really get going with more than just my current tanks. I'd really like to build a little barn once I buy my house with a 5500 gallon pool in the center with a couple jags, some midas, devils and trimacs and line my walls with 6' tanks. For breeders and what not.
Did you see a pic of Jeff Rapps aquariums? MY GOSH! I think if I walk in there...it will be like candy store to me :p
