Hey Mike

Love the pandas...they look a bit stressed from travel. Source?

Hey Lawrence,
How are you? sorry have been busy with work, catch up later, ok?

They are F1s from States, Jeff Rapps. I was damn worried, cause I heard all the stories about the wild specimens but these are much better. I organised a mini MO over at AF a fortnight ago to get this.

Hey,
Actually there are a sizable community here just that most of them are in a different forum. Some specialised in central american and some south american, even african there are ardent followers. After cichlids forever closed down, they have been quieter only....
