Re: [GSAS-Member] Belonesox belizanus... already gone!

Hooray!  Great to know at least someone in the club is keeping these fish.  
Thanks Doran; yes, please let me know; any age is fine (ie newborn fry to 
whatever), and I will bring cash...   ;+))

How long have you had them and where did you get them?  Please tell more... 
offline if no one else is interested...  tank size, tankmates, etc; I am very 
curious.  I have been researching these fish for a while now and have come 
across very few people with any experience keeping them.  Whiteclouds and 
guppies sound like ideal Belonesox lunch.  ;+))

Best of luck with them!
Connie
PS - got any photos??

  I didn't buy those ones.  But I have a trio of them.  They love their 
  whiteclouds, and feeder guppies.  If I get any babies I will let you know.
