One Lwanda for sale

[ikevi]

My first batch of lwandas are starting to show some color. (At 1 inch). Yep that is more than a little amazing. I don't garantee that the color will stay once they move to a different tank, but it will come back quickly.

Anyways I am willing to sell one or two of my best young males. Here are a few shots of the two I pulled from the others. (I am trying to figure out what ones are female, hence males get pulled when they show color.)

If you want one make me an offer. Else I will just grow them out some more and pick the best ones to keep for myself.

Pictures of the two males up for grabs.



And there father.

where you located and are you planning on adding females?

[ikevi]

I am going to keep all the females for now. I used to have 2, but the sadly didn't make the move. So now out of the 11 fry I had I am hoping I get some females... (So far I think I have 3 males and don't know what the others are. I pulled the two most colored males and those are the ones I am offering right now.)

[pullins125]

where you located?

[ikevi]

Midtown Atlanta. (Off of Ponce and Juniper.)

[pullins125]

how close is that to the airport.

[ikevi]

~12 miles.

[pullins125]

and how much are the males?

[ikevi]

I am going to say 20 bucks each. You just can't find lwandas like these two. (Heck I just saw someone that was jumping up and down for a 3 inch that he got that doesn't have as much color as these little guys do.) If you want I have one that I would let go at 15. He is showing some yellow. But not as good as these two. I will toss in some free Java moss if you want it.

(And I am judging pricing by how much it would cost for one of these from where I order mine. If you factor in shipping + packaging, and how good these fish are well it is a deal.)

Note I do assume that there will be some lwandas for sale at the ACA convention. I don't know what they will go for in the auctions, but I would say these are one of the if not the most in demand species in the US. (Note I am not factoring what the demand is for hybrids like the dragon blood.) But like I said I don't actually know if I really want to sell these two guys they are so good...

[pullins125]

thst to high for me. i a;ready have one that i got for 6 dollars. i was hoping to get it for a lot cheaper then that. what was you talking bout shipping? you live close enough to pick them up. i will just go see if my guy has anymore if not wait til the convention. if price changes or you deside to sale some of the females for cheaper send me a pm and let me know.

[ikevi]

Well goodluck. Like I said these are the best lwandas I have ever seen. (IE 1 inch keeping color when they are in a tank with 4 inch fish.) I am very surprised you found a lwanda for 6 bucks. (Heck last I looked at the stores they were ~125 to ~80 and all had less color than my two little guys.)

As for the pricing I was saying where I shop for mine I pay ~20 bucks and then shipping is ~40, per box so then it ends up costing me about 24 per fish, so I am willing to sell the 2 crazy awesome ones for 20 bucks each and the other one that is good just not as colorful at 1 inch for 15. As for the females, well you likely can get some at the aca. I doubt you will get by with paying anything less than 15 bucks each for 3 inchers. I just don't want to sell any since I don't know how many I have. Heck I really doubt I will sell any unless I pick up some more at the ACA.

Oh yah and did I mention how good these fish are... Judge for yourself. Have you ever seen a 1 inch peac0ck keep its color when a 4 inch German red went into breeding mode... Well I have now

[bigdawg1]

you have a nice lwanda. i have lwanda fry and juvies if you ever need any to add to your stock. lwanda seem to color up at a young age for me, usually around 1.5 inches and they do seem to hold their color well. judging by your pics and video i would say your young males are a solid 2 inches in length rather than 1 inch.

[ikevi]

You might be right. Though I would say 1.5 inches at max. (I haven't held up a ruler to them or anything, just know they are much too small to go into my main tanks.)

I think I will just keep these guys and see how they turn out.

[pullins125]

how much would you sale the 3 males for then? for all three?

[ikevi]

Sorry, one of the really good ones is spoken for, I sold the one that wasn't showing as much color. And I am keeping the other guy.
