They say that all good things must come to an end, and it is now clear that the time for this good thing is coming to an end. It has been an amazing 5 years, with a lot of friends made, people helped, and awesome fish coming through my tanks. But the time and energy it takes to maintain everything, and provide the service to all of you that I expect of myself, is just too much for this season of life. I thought downsizing a bit and making a few things more efficient would help, but it is obvious to me that it has not. It’s time and energy that I want to/should be using for things I believe are much more important in life. The most important of which is devoting myself to God’s calling and bringing the message of Jesus to all who are willing to listen.

With that said, everything in my tanks is now available. Below is an updated list, please reach out with any questions.

To everyone who has supported me, thank you very much! Words cannot express my gratitude to all of you. This hobby has been tremendous, and I will most certainly miss it. Thank you again, and happy fish keeping! 🐟🐠

Exciting day! My first leucistic female in my F1 Tropheus moori Kalambo breeding group has spawned. Leucism is 1 of 2 naturally occurring genetic mutations in the Tropheus population at Kalambo. My group consists of 3 leucistic males, 3 leucistic females, and 24 other females of standard coloration, many of which have the leucistic gene. This is a long term project, but very excited to share!

10/28/2023

Tropheus moori Lufubu! One of several new groups I’ve added. These appear to be the real deal and already show fantastic colors, I can’t wait for them to gain full color/appearance after a few months!

10/25/2023

A big shipment this morning. 2 new groups of Tropheus, one of which I’ve never kept before. A special thank you to Alison Lowe for helping me out. Once settled, I will share an update! 😁🐠

Mbuna lovers! I’m looking to part with my Labeotropheus Chlorosiglos Katale group. It is the mcat male shown, 2 standard males, 2 OB females, and 4 regular females. This is Aquahaus Gaus strain, so very high quality. Please message me with interest!

10/02/2023

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Good morning and happy Sunday fellow fish friends! It has been a while since I’ve posted, so I thought it was time for an update!

A lot of changes have occurred over the last few months; however, I have made the decision to stay in the hobby and continue breeding! While I have downsized a bit, and will only be keeping 6-7 groups of Tropheus, I plan on pursuing a few other fish projects, including breeding L046 Hypancistrus Zebra, a challenge I’m looking forward to!

Some very cool and beautiful fish will be coming to my tanks in the next few weeks, and I look forward to sharing them! In the meantime, here is a group of 85 Tropheus black Ikola I am growing out to form a new breeding group. Have a great day everyone!!
