Re: Some Pitch Black Ram Pics
Those blacks you seen on Aquarium Co-op's video were actually the people who created the blacks. They are in Israel! They also had some solid blacks but did have some red in their fins. The others you were seeing we're just the lighter version I think he said they call them Black Knights. They were created from gold rams somehow. I'd like to know how that happened.

I bet Tom (CoralBandit) knows more about their history. All I know is that the ones Tom sent me were Pitch Black and almost all of their black offspring are Pitch Black.
I know that in Angelfish Black and Gold have a strange relationship that I don't quite understand. When you breed two solid blacks you will often get gold offspring. When I had Angels I was not in to Blacks so I never bothered to understand the Black/Gold relationship.

Re: Some Pitch Black Ram Pics
I had a bit of good news with shipping yesterday. A guy had been waiting for the holiday season to be over so I could ship a pair of Pitch Blacks that he had been waiting a whole month for. The Post Office lost them in transit and they didn't arrive until 8 days after I shipped. The guy emailed yesterday and sent pics of the pair swimming happily together in their new tank. I couldn't believe they weren't dead. They would have been if they'd have been sent to some cold place rather than sunny California. I put a drop of meth blue in each bag and used O2 rather than room air. I bet those two things made the difference between life and death.

Re: Some Pitch Black Ram Pics
I feel lucky. I hate to do it but I'm considering shipping Priority Express like Tom does. I just hate for my customers to have to pay so much for shipping.

Re: Some Pitch Black Ram Pics
As someone who hates spending money (poor choice in hobby then, I know!), I can understand not wanting to spend a ton of money on shipping.
With that said, seeing the quality of the fish you and Tom can produce, I wouldn't hesitate paying the extra money on Priority Express shipping if I was buying from either of you. Quality fish deserve quality shipping. If you were shipping out run of the mill guppies, swordtails, or some other livebearer, I could maybe understand a little. But the stock you have is premium quality and I'm sure the folks you are selling to would understand.
