[GSAS-Member] Tanganyikans

["KEITH ANDERSON" <Delphilabs@msn.com>]

Hi Paul,
Sounds like there is some interest in Africans in the club after all! :-) I 
would probably have a better feel for that if I attended meetings and 
auctions, but being in Tumwater doesn't make that real convenient.  I am 
mostly an email GSAS participant...  I don't have a Mbuna tank these days, 
but glad to hear from you.  I haven't done fish stores in Portland or 
Seattle in 25 years, but I am going to have to check the Wet Spot out and 
see the new Place for Pets.

Thanks,
Keith

Hi Cliff,
Yeah, a shot in the dark, but contacting you and Eric sounds like it might 
pay off.  You mentioned in your email that they were Daffodils, which to me 
have much more yellow color than the "original" Brichardi.  I actually like 
the Daffodil type better though, and will try to arrange a time with you and 
Eric so I can make one trip up north.

Thanks,
Keith

Thanks for the reply Erik.  I'll contact you off-line as well.  Hopefully 
you have some that are large enough to go in with my 1-2" Leleupi?
