Re: Taeniacara candidi

[Rich Grenfell <rgrenfell@snet.net>]

Pretty sweet deal you have there Al!
Sal and i were talking about it and we both agree.... you're lucky we
weren't there! Ha Ha, we've been looking for them too! Was it the RI
auction? Sal was a judge for the show there on Saturday. I almost went
but decided to save my fish and my money for the one that my club is
doing next week. It would be great to see you there if you can make it!

Anyway, i haven't worked with them, but Sal has bred them so you might
wanna shoot him an email I think Zman has an article about them on his
website too.
