i have a few tanks with lots of different types of african ciclids

my problem is my one of my male johanni's has been on a rampage. and because of his handy work i have 3 females with mouths full of eggs(they are mouth brooders). in about 2 weeks im going to have 50 or 60 little fry. i dont have room for them, and i really dont want to get another tank.

so... anyone want some baby's? im not selling them, just giving them away. ive had pretty good luck shipping fish overnight express mail.

if you want to know what johanni's look like ill post a link below, by the way the full name is melanochronomis johanni (hopefully i spelled it right)

there is one pic at the top of the page, and a couple more down at the bottom (actually lots of pics so make sure you are looking at the johanni and not the others)

That's a great offer! My tanks are shut down right now or I'd really consider it, very generous of you :)

I bet your local fish store would take them off your hands if no one else will. I was never really into African Cichlids, although I have kept a few. I've always liked Oscars and I have a reef tank as well, but it's not doing so well right now due to neglect. I do have a foot long Panther grouper though. He's cool but kind of annoying. If you can't get anyone to take them they'll just be food. Try not to feel too bad about it, it happens all the time. And you never know, a couple might make it if you have lots of cover for them. Good luck and thanks for the offer.

ill PM anyone/everyone who was interested in a few weeks. i will also find out how much shipping is.

*** there are no local fish/pet stores that are worth a flip, so i always get mine from a place out of california. and never had any die while being shipped across the country (i live in alabama)***
