Re: [GSAS-Member] Sad and Hot week

[Trish <snips36@yahoo.com>]

Its not that I dont like Acei or the Saulosi, but I have had them in the past, 
and really dont want to have them again. I might consider the Acei.....but am 
partial more to the Colbalt Blue.

And yes it is hard to find pure Mbuna....I am going to be taking my time, its 
just sad to seach a nice large tank empty!

Trish

PS anyone interested in my 90 gal tank, please e mail me....am wanting to sell 
it soon if possible. Its the tank and stand, with oak trim.
