well firstly the money makers
29g half wild angel, nothing fancy just meaner then any cichlid ive kept before.
I removed babies exactly a week ago tonight and I found about 300 or so wigglers already in that tank, hidden from human view.

I am taking a sample dozen to a LFS to sell, he didnt balk at my breeder price of $6 each he told me if these sell(he doesnt stock angels now because he only stocks locally bred fish and his breeder quit with the economy) He is also very interested in my Pangio Oblonga's i breed as he has a demand for the any kuhllis just not the supply.

Finally this has gotten off the ground.
I dont mean to stroke my own ego but hot damn this is great news to me. I have been taxably unemployed since january of this year, lost my job as a manager at cabela's when they tiered the store down a level yet again.

I want to say thanks to the hobbists out there that demand quality. If it wasnt for people like you, there wouldnt be people like me out there striving for top standards and unequaled quality.

I sold on E bay and Aqua bid for years. I had so many clients I could not keep up. You should try this. It didn't matter about the economy they kept buying. I quit because it got to be way to much like work when you have over 30 tanks setup. Always shipping and moving fish it got crazy.

I havnt even begun to set up a true breeding operation yet. Ive just filled in empty wall and floor space with tanks. we are moving by the spring to a new house(waiting on financing and offers to be accepted via short sales). Once that happens then all my warehouse racking and particle boards I bought from a warehouse auction will be put to use.
Its nuts especially when your prolificly producing pair of angels doesnt even wait for you to finish the PWC before they start throwing eggs around, this newest batch of wigglers takes up an ENTIRE length of long leaf java fern plus 4 other leaves on the same plant.

I appreciate the good wishes as this is finally coming together, My Wife and mother have come to the conclusion that my father passed his fish breeding gene's onto me from him doing it from 1964-1990 with tropicals.
Only thing I need to obtain are true wild angels and a few other fish that I can truly bring WILD blood back into the hobby. Ive noticed wild and half wilds really sell well due to their genetics.
