> Rarefish at lax is Kent Webster's friend Tanner. Kent is a breeder
and essentially a rainbowfish wholesaler. He really doesn't want
his wholesale people getting mad at him so Tanner does all of his on-
line stuff for him. Tanner plucks the stuff directly out of Kent's
tank so you aren't getting stuff second hand with the possibility of
crosses. Kent if he's not selling yet, will be shortly selling
wanamensis again. Kent writes most of the stuff up for Tanner for
Aquabid so he gets it right. We've had several discussions about
making his descriptions interesting and also informative. I think I
wrote one of his earlier writeups, probably the zigzag (G. doryiti)
or the millenium (pseudoincisus) but the rest is Kent, with a tad of
my influence :-) Heck I read his writeups and start to bid on the
stuff when I realize, "hey I've already got that"! Also a great
many of his photos are mine that I shot of Kent's fish when I was
out at the hatchery last February. I stood on a step stool
> photographing fish one at a time in our phototank for something
like 8 hours. I support Kent and friend as Kent is really the only
breeder in the US that can supply the quality and the quanity of
rainbowfish. The stuff in Florida and what gets imported is often a
joke.

> His Goo obos are only getting brighter and breeding even more
fish with color. Some of the offspring are not very colorful and
sort of revert back to the wild so if you buy six young fish from
him be sure to select the brightest colored ones for breeding. He
tells me that he has some newer pairs that even outrival the shots
that are up on Aquabid at the moment. I think I would wait to get
fish though until the spring as it gets pretty cold in Vermont in
the winter. Good reason to keep fish, stay in and keep warm!

> My name's Eileen Kortright. Canadian from Ontario, but married a
Yankee and am living in VA. I'm in my mid 40s. I'm more new than
Gunther to aquaria; I just started in August of this year. I have 6
aquariums, with the largest being a 36g bowfront. Hrm, saw Boesemani
for the first time and fell in love with them :) I bought a 36g
bowfront and a school of 7 from my LFS. I seemed to have lucked out
as mine are VERY colorful now and, I think, rather large. One of my
females is around 3.25", males about 3", couple are 2.5, but
not "orangey" yet. The bigger ones are now starting to exhibit
spawning behavior and I'm very excited about that! I spend a lot of
my time reading about rainbow fish. I just received Dr. Allen's
Rainbowfishes book and 'm eagerly awaiting Harro's book that I
ordered :)

> I have on order 3x75g and 1x50g tanks that are due to arrive in
two weeks. My Boesemani will go into one 75g and I want to better
the school with the ones I see on Aquabid. I want to add some Goo
obos to that tank as well, again same person on Aquabid or another
site that sells them and I suspect that both of those people are
the same guy. He writes a lot like Gary Lange :) Are those yours,
Gary? Rarefishatlax?

well! The third I want to have as splendida dubulayi and possibly
wanamensis, if I can find them, and peacock gudgeons. I did find
some "Emerald Rainbowfish", but not sure if that's them or not. My
smaller tanks will be stocked with blue-eyes.
