I've followed Andrew for some time and love his Goodeids. I asked him about getting some Skiffia Multipunctata from him when he had enough. He told me maybe in the fall. We talked about it again last week. Today, I received seven juveniles from him. They all came in unstressed from the two day trip. The fish are more beautiful than video can show. I was totally unprepared as they exceeded my expectations. They acclimated easily, and begged to eat. They are very socialized, and not afraid of me. After several hours I fed small amounts of blood worms and bug bites, which they all eagerly devoured. The entire process of receiving the fish went very smoothly. The fish were packed extremely well. Thanks Andrew for trusting me to take good care of, breed, and help spread these amazing fish!

Now that is a beautiful fish. Healthy large colony. Anyone keeping cares fish is doing more than just breeding fish. There maintaining fish for the future and hopefully many generations to come. And fish clubs auctions and conventions is a huge thing for me. I belong to multiple clubs including my own that I started in 2013. I have 2 meeting and 2 auctions this month so I will be busy lol.

Thanks man, I had said the next video would have some stunning fish! About 75% or more of my goodeid species are on the CARES priority list. This species is one that I fell in love with years before I was able to find them. Awesome on the clubs! I have one meeting this month & another I wish I could make it to. Would have been nice to submit a couple of these males to see how they would place!

Thanks for watching! I do sell some but I'm just a hobbyist, not a business, so it's not that often. As for this species, so many people asked about them but I only had enough surplus to share with a handful. I wish they were easier to find & I could send out more but that is part of the deal when it comes to rare fish. Best of luck finding some species! They can be found if you look hard enough!
