Nandopsis Bartoni

11 Mar 2011 (Friday), I actually took a half day off work to check out the new shipment that came in a day before. Wish I could have been there on arrival day, but that was not possible as I was out of town ... working.

There were quite a few nice pick from the shipment, Bocouti, Bifaciatus, Fenestraus, Godmani, Dovii, Umbie, Black Nasties, just to name a few. But I eventually ended up with a pair of 3" Bartoni.

The decision wasn't too difficult as I have never keep this fish before since I started keeping CAs some 9 years ago. The gold color of the young Bartoni were simply irresistable.

From what I have managed to gather from 'googling' and 'yahooing', this article from The Cichlid Room Companion (http://www.cichlidae.com/article.php?id=1) got the most comprehensive write which I think is the 'Bible' for anyone who is like me, new to Bartoni.

Here goes, pictures of my new Bartoni.

Boy... I think
