I won the auction on aquabid for 8 Julidochromis dickfeldi 'Midnight'!
I almost lost it though. About 9am yesterday, 2 hours before the auction was over the aquabid site went down. And it stayed down till about 11:30ish. I figured for sure that some one was going to over bid me and there wouldnt be anything I could do to prevent it. Thankfully no one was able too, but the seller said that another buyer was going too, but couldnt get to the site! I have asked several people to be on the look out for these, and I passed a few leads given to me on to the other buyer. If it wasn't for people helping me look for these, I probably would not have found them as quick and as cheap as I did.
Auction went for $35 for 8 juveniles around an inch each. After shipping it was $81. Still, thats just a little over $10 per fish, and the cheapest I had found them online was 12.50 before shipping. I really lucked out on these.
I also went to the LFS last night to ask about her ordering me some bristle nose plecs. Wouldnt ya know it, walk in the door and she just got some in! lol, talk about a good luck day! So I bought three, 1m 2f I belive. They have already taken to the tank quite well. I love them already.
The julies should be shipping out early next week. I'm taking a day off of work to recieve them, and to make sure they adjust good. Plus a great excuse for getting a day off too.
2 species down, and only one more to go. Alto. calvus Chitika white. No problems finding these guys however. There are 4 highly recomended breeders within a 3 hour drive from me, and as of right now all have these in stock. With the money I can save on shipping, I am stongly leaning to getting an adult trio insteed of several juvies.
Wow. What a day. But a good one.
