Drew the King of the Slappers (not in a bad way)

Drew your definately the king of the slappers, I was up with Drew today and got some stunning fish especially the Apistogramma aggazzizzi fire reds, when fishing these out I said to Drew i want a handsome male and 2 slapper females and thats exactly what i got, i got home floated the fish for 20 mins to equalise the temp. then released the fish at this time Martin (duzzy1) came over to get some fish i got for him and i started showing him my new purchases, a stunning pair of Blue angels , a pair of true mouthbrooding severums , a pair of curviceps and my apistos , I could only see 1 female apisto aggazzizzi fire red and then i spotted the male in a small half flower pot i had in the tank, so i got a torch to show martin the magnificent colours on him when martin said no wonder he's in there he's got a female in there two, next he said hang on theres eggs in there two, and sure enough there was and they where in the process of spawning, the stunning part of this is that it was within 10MINS of being in my tank , Drew I asked for slappers and you gave me slappers thanks a million mate i'm delighted, never have i had fish spawn within 10 min s of being in a tank, and the angels are now cosying up to each other, the curviceps are sparring so if your looking for good fish give Drew a shout, he's also had rams spawn in the shop and angels too it says a lot for the quality fish he has
Cheers again Drew,
Seamus

Ha read the title and was wondering what to expect
Great news!!!! i do remember you saying "pick me too slappers" they have been showing signs in the shop, as all 5 species we have are from time to time.. wasnt it the females who were jaw locking?
Must move a few into the quarantine tanks n see what happens
Hope the rest follow suit for you... good to see ya again today n keep us posted on hatchings n other pos. spawnings

I won't mention what I thought 'Stag Party' looked like when I read it without my glasses.......but it would have been topical nonetheless.

****back to facebook for me I guess****

I hope the Borellis you have for me (and the other fish) are in as amorous a mood after I collect them!

Looks like you've figured out how to find the place John

hey drew, ye could have show'd me your gift last night pal instead of keeping it to yourself

haha was waiting for a result like this, have been watching them displaying to each other each time i was down so delighted for ye shea
keep us updated now

I was down with Drew today in Emerald Aquatics and purchased four beautiful Geophagus species, 2 males and 2 females. Drew said they came for a northern Ireland breeder. He has quite a few in stock.
They are already showing lovely colouration in the tank

Thanks Drew.

Ha Dave you could be posting tmw the same as Shea...

Hi Greg, nice to put a name to a face.. good to see you again and glad they settled in.. they will colour up more just give them time ... how are the pair of kribs? another pair have taken the shell over....

well just an update, the little female ate the eggs, then again she is inexperienced so no harm, but a good star from them and again cracking looking fish drew cheers
