New Addtions - Pintail Wag and P. Latipinna

[CACAdmin]

It's a great day and sometimes it's our 'fishy' friends that make it so. It's wonderful when fish hobbyists help each other.:yes: Today I received a donation of not one but two absolutely gorgeous fish from Melody... yes I said donations... the lady offered these beautiful fish to me and then refused to take any money for them. Why? Because I'm a nice guy? :nah: then everybody would be giving me fish.:;):

No, she knows what traits I am trying to bring into the lines I am breeding and generously decided to help. Many thanks to Melody :Flowers3:not only for helping out my breeding program but for the enthusiasm that she and so many others in this hobby share in assisting of other hobbyists.:thumbup:

Now here are the stars (sorry about the wood in the background (doesn't make the best backdrop for pics):

Actually it IS because you're a nice guy. ::D: As I've mentioned before, my friends have always been good to me, including yourself. What goes around, comes around.

As for breeding, I can relate to that one....lol. Knowing exactly what you want is one thing, finding it is quite another.

Now gimme 'em back! They look so pretty in the pic's! :laugh: The Latipinna is just starting to mature - can't wait to see him when his sail is developed. Oh and note somewhere that his collection location is "San Antonio River" - that's a fish pedigree of sorts.

If they have the ALA convention in San Antonio next year, maybe I can collect some myself! That's something I've never done - wild fish collecting. Methinks I'll have to make time for that.

Anyways, I'll watch for updates & look forward to seeing what you do with them.:smile:

I just thought of something.... if I can't catch a fish in a tank, imagine me trying to do it in a river?

Anyone else picturing me landing on my butt in the water?:laugh: I'll be sure to post pics of me looking like a drowned rat, triumphantly holding up a bag of fish... which someone else caught for me. :rolleyes:

:yes:That's so true. Many friends I have met through this hobby have been exceedingly generous in sharing everything from livestock and plants to equipment, time and knowledge with me. A special thanks to all you wonderful people.:Flowers3:

:nah: Can't do that... especially to the Latipinna. He's already eyeing all the girls in the other tank across the room. :;): As for the pintail female, I have a nice handsome mate picked out for her. (Sure hope she likes him :laugh: )

is that wagtail the one with the pointy tail? I dont know anything about tails. They both look great!

[CACAdmin]

You've got it right.:yes: Wags have black fins and tail. Pintail in the pointed tail. So she is a pintail wag.
