So many fish have come in and gone out since I last posted a thread here.
Please don't ever wait for me to post here if you are wondering what's doing at TUIC.
I update the web page stock list regularly.
I have some big and really big Bagarius cats, baby bowfin, orange cheek/orange fin L95 plecos, wild Cichla kelberi, pinima, and piquiti.
Also amazing jumbo wild Uaru, rare Apistogramma and Corydoras, albino Acarichthys heckelii, D. polota 'silver datnoids'.
And then another wild Nicaraguan import arrived week before last too!
Lots of incredibly colored red devils, red headed barred midas, rostratus, H. nematopus 'neets', and lots more!
I'm very glad to find that I can upload photos from my computer again
The bowfin on hand are 1.5-2" size. I just wanted to share a photo of my former pet, Bobo the bowfin.
Above are stock pinima photos. Below is photo of sub adult for reference only.
Below are stock photos of piquiti 'azul bass'
And here is photo of kelberi I imported previously from same river as those on hand.
Current stock are 3.5-4" sized.

and recently taken photos of latest Nicaraguan imported fish!
The above 'neet' is an adult male of a pair I have here and breed. Sorry I did not take a decent photo of the 3.5-4.5" wild stock on hand. Will try again this week.
I have LOTS of blood red wild labiatus. But how many times can a person photograph a solid blood red fish?!
So instead I photographed some variations of the wild devils most recently received.
Below is a copy/paste of my stock list taken from TUIC web page.

and recently taken photos of latest Nicaraguan imported fish!
The above 'neet' is an adult male of a pair I have here and breed. Sorry I did not take a decent photo of the 3.5-4.5" wild stock on hand. Will try again this week.
I have LOTS of blood red wild labiatus. But how many times can a person photograph a solid blood red fish?!
So instead I photographed some variations of the wild devils most recently received.
Below is a copy/paste of my stock list taken from TUIC web page.
