Geophagus pellegrini finally!

[wfex4]

Finally got some Geophagus pellegrini from Rapps! I've wanted these for several years and money/availability have never lined up quite right until now.

These are the ones from the Rio Atrato.

I'll take some more photos once they settle in a little bit. They're currently in holding in a 40 breeder while the stand for their new tank gets sanded and painted.

There is one male and two females for now...

Considering they're still in a bag and stressed from shipping, they're showing alot of color.

I am definitely impressed. This is the first time I've ordered from Jeff and certainly won't be my last.

Thanks for sharing. I will be ordering in the next couple of weeks, its good to see how he packs the fish and a happy customer!

And shipping wasn't nearly as bad as expected

Here's a couple more quick shots. Two of the fish (1m/1f) are pretty colorful and swimming around but the larger female is rather drab and just hides in and around the driftwood. Hopefully she will settle in and start coloring up a bit more soon.

Got some more this morning. Picked up a group of 6 juvenile pellegrini 'Upper Rio San Juan' and 5 Aequidens diadema 'Janero Harrera'. Really impressed with the shipping and color of these fish right out of the bag.
