Long Time Lurker

[stewbone]

Hi Everyone. I've been making good use of this site for some time now.
I've bought some nice fish from members and sponsors alike. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself.
My name is Mario, I live in Bucks County PA.
I'm keeping about 600 gals. of assorted Tangs.
I've been in the hobby on and off (mostly on) for about 35 years.
I'm breeding a few different species at the moment and hope to find this a good outlet to sell/ trade some fry.

Thanks for reading!
Mario (Stewbone)

LOL Bill???? With 7000 posts I doubt you lurk much, Hee Hee. I admit I do this from time to time too. Somedays you just do not feel like saying nothing.

Welcome! How many Tricotis do you have? Are they breeding for you? Can't wait for pics.

[Shellies215]

I would love to see pics of your sand sifters!! let me know if you have any xeno fry.

Thanks again everybody. I have 5 Tricoti's at the moment and have ordered some more from Steve at Valley Aquatics. I have a pair(dominant male/ largest female) out of those that are going through all the motions but I don't think the female is actually laying any eggs yet. The Papilio's I just managed to strip the 1st brood from 1 pair and got 7 fry. I can't imagine them having more than a dozen at once. Pretty large fry for a small fish. Kilesa's I have lot's.
Males are already coloring up and digging pits at 2"+. If you're looking for some pm me. I may attempt some pics this weekend if this hurricane materializes. Something to do.
