My Nanay wild Greens ..Whirling Disease

[brewmaster15]

I have wanted Nanay Greens from Peru for a very long time. Breeding wilds and hybridizing to domestics is one of my main focuses.

One of the sellers of tropical fish that I have been buying my non-discus fish from, Tristan'sTropical Fish in Evansville WI, was able to order me a group of Nanay Greens. It was his first order from this exporter of the greens so it was a test run for me and him as well. I went with the basic greens. Even among these there are some that should have some spotting.

He got the fish in a few weeks ago and was happy with them as was I when I saw the pics..

Picked them up at Fedex and am really happy with these greens..Packing was great... he used 9 heat packs! TEMP was 81F in the bags. They are young still which is perfect for me..

Very happy with the whole shipment and dealing with Tristan a real pleasure.

If you are interested in getting some...these aren't something he stocks but he said he can put orders in for groups of fish at a time.. .. I started this process back in Dec...so be patient. I also highly suggest his dutch rams and endlers and other fishes that he regularly carries.

Nice, Al, I bought some apistos from Tristan a year ago. He does a good job. He's actually only about 2-2.5 hours from me or so. He seems to bring in quite a bit of wild caught stuff.

I have been very impressed with him and the fish I got on several orders now.

I see possible spotting in several and even the hint of a green cast. Am I seeing that right Al?
