[Artie]

Hey Rob if you drop your take to 20% i'll wrap them around your face !!!!!!!! hehehehe

[AlishanAS]

Hey Rob if you drop your take to 20% i'll wrap them around your face !!!!!!!! hehehehe

Thanks for burning that image in my mind Artie. :grhair:

I'll go back to shoveling slush to try to forget it.

[bovsbaitboxes]

malawais tangs vics plants and plecos and of course lots of fish food

[FishWife]

I of course want Angelfish. I love tri-color sharks, green terrors, Jack Dempseys and plecos. I drive YAP crazy with some of my combinations since they can't all go in my tank upstairs. I do have another tank downstairs but sometimes I have to give in and let them live in the fishroom.:love:

[YoungAquaticPhotos]

I want Africans, Africans & Africans! In that order!

[emartin]

This is for people who are sure they will attend the Auction.

I'm interested in rarer Malawi, but Madagascans would be even nicer...

Oh, and this species: Thoracochromis brauschi I'm looking to keep some of these one day....They're west africans right?

~Ed

[nyc2tanks]

Plants, malawi peacocks to eat the plants, maybe a few tangs, fish food and of course, a chance to see Artie's legs, regardless of actual outdoor temperature.:erm::erm:

[cwnaturescapes]

man.. we might have to get artie to pose those legs on the front page of ecc,from the look of the poll results..lol

[TOMMYN3D]

I voted for drygoods because i always buy food from the guy that sells the HBH food, But i am also looking to get more south american 's:colrface:

[freddy1477]

Looking foward to some nice cyno. Afras,plecos and some fish food

[fischfan13]

I see the Tang vote catching up to the Malawi vote.
If you believe that you are going to the auction then a vote would be appreciated.
Thanks.

[Artie]

My legs are still holding up pretty good !!!!!!!!!!!! A few more votes & perhaps I can get to 20%. :colrface:

[Afreakin]

I get the 40%!!!!!!

I'm bringin the gooooooods :grhair:

[fischfan13]

Rob, the Tangs are being out-voted by the Malawis by about the same number of votes that Artie's legs have.
You need a good push to win this one for the Tangs!

[Afreakin]

What's funny is that the Pole that I posted everyone had equal # of Malawis vs Tangs. Yet more peeps want Malawi and more people voted for this one :upset::cries::bandit:

[Artie]

Damn by april 4th there looks like there won't be any interest in my legs & i'll have to wear long pants!!!!!!!! :cry_ani: It's all up to you guys !!!!!!!!! hehehe

[Afreakin]

Glad to see the Tang lovers comin around :)

[fischfan13]

Wow, are you signing up family members Rob?

[AlishanAS]

Artie is lagging. Quick Artie, we need leg photos!!!

[whcs20@hotmail.com]

Any african cichlids, just starting up again and I would like to start with them.

[Afreakin]

Malawis and Tanganyikans are neck and neck :bandit: :partay:

[Afreakin]

Tangs are up!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL:partay:

[emartin]

Have you guys thought of selling a few copies of Malawi Cichlids in their Natural Habitat 4th edition? Apparently a couple people here don't have the newest edition...

~Ed

[fischfan13]

Selling or auctioning?
If someone wants to donate a copy we will be more than happy to put it up for auction or a raffle.

Remember back in the day when the only African Cichlid book around was the Axelrod/ Burgess book? They would add a dozen crummy photos every year and call it a new Edition and I would of course waste my money on the "new" book.
I think they went up to the seventeenth edition. For all know Herb was putting another one together in the hoosegow.

Back then we also did not have the internet.

Back then we also did not have the internet.
This newest edition isn't just packed with new photos...over 200 new species have been added to this edition, including all of the deep water haps including the genus Diplotaxodon in Malawi. And in my opinion, comparing the updated information on the species in the new edition compared to the 3rd edition is great also. There's also a whole brand new section on the deep water species (also including the Diplotaxodon sp.) including a few dozen more Placidochromis sp. not mentioned in the 3rd edition.

In other words, I think anybody who's into Malawi Cichlids, especially the Haplochromine, should invest in getting a copy of the new edition. My point is it isn't really overloaded with just more pictures and the same information, there's a whole lot more information including a brand new section. That's how I found out about Placidochromis platyrhynchus for example...

~Ed

[emartin]

Also, have you guys though of having a raffle for Lampricthys tanganyikanus?

[AlishanAS]

No. Lamprichthys is a very expensive, delicate killie that is easily injured in transport. Unless somebody donates a group or eggs we will not have this species. We do not intend to lay out the $$$.

[emartin]

So that's why they are so expensive...

[eggzackary]

Wow, Tangs takes the lead....where are the malawi lovers???????

[JROGO]

All the tang lovers are starting to come out of the woodwork now. Jim those Long fin albino bristlenose pleco pair went for $70.00 at the tfcec. Only becaue I stopped bidding.

Thanks
Joe

[eggzackary]

WOW $70...thats crazy....almost as crazy as the $56 pair of guppies that sold. I guess i should've stuck around for the excitement.

[Afreakin]

Wow, Tangs takes the lead....where are the malawi lovers???????

Don't you worry Eggz, they're out there. LOL :)

[fischfan13]

Yes, we are out here.
I voted, however, for Artie's legs, especially since I have to remain impartial.

[Artie]

Yes, we are out here.
I voted, however, for Artie's legs, especially since I have to remain impartial.

Thank you Bill. I'm starting to get an inferiority complex. I'm below 14 %.Almost like our last president !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :erm:

[joe_jaskot]

Yes, we are out here.
I voted, however, for Artie's legs, especially since I have to remain impartial.Bill, I think you voted your gay conscious. LOL!

[fischfan13]

Joe, I did some investigating. You have 100 posts, and here are bits of ten of those posts.


I think you voted your gay conscious.
Two gay exochromis anypenis
are you looking through that magnifying glass again?
Hope you got a new pair of shorts for your birthday
If they shave any hair off your back
I use my index finger
It's not my fault that Bill is gay
I hear that Artie is going to model the G String at the next ECC auction. He should look real cute with those legs of his.
You're finally coming out of the closet? A gay NY Mets fan?
If my aunt had balls

Hemitaeniochromis species? Erik Dyke just sold out of wild ones that he got from Old World Exotic Fish. I'm sure if one of us asked him we could locate any breeders of them and at least try and get some for the Fall Auction...

Champsochromis spilorhynchus
Chilotilapia euchilus
ANY LETHRINOPS SPECIES
Mylochromis plagiotaenia <---BEAUTIFUL fish... Erik Dyke has wild ones in stock. They're on page 294 in ad konings 4th edition malawi book. They have a greenish body, orange-ish cap, and blueish fins.
Mylochromis sphaerodon
Naevochromis chrysogaster
Stigmatochromis modestus "Red"
