Big news for angelfish fans of RCT

[gasman059]

I like the hustler shirt-- but for real ARGYLE--- lol---- its ok Buddy we c lots of those down here.

Hey John Nice argyle shirt---- yikes U ARE BANNED. No real tropical island guy would be caught dead with that one.

As far as the fish well always impressive.

Thanks Manny for making me google "argyle"... I'll drop some of the hockey games and start watching "Project Runway" with my wife more to catch up with you... and unless New Jersey is a tropical island I am no "real tropical island guy".

That is funny. We have been hassling John about how he is the only one that looks good in the pic. We were just hanging out at Karen's having pizza and beer and we weren't expecting a photo shoot.

Both DJ and Karen were saying they wished they had on different clothes for the pic. I wish I lost 20 pounds for the pic. haaaa

We look like a motley bunch.

Again sorry Bill for concentrating on the clownfish pics... I spent about six seconds on that pic... next time I'll work with you more on the photo shoot... more skills I could learn watching Project Runway... :celeb1: :fun4:

I found some socks to match your shirt john.

That's it... I've had it... I'm joining the Harlem Hustlers...

boy, i think i may have to start warming the wife up to the idea of a tank for when we move to hawaii next year, i promised no tanks in the apt. . . But things change :c)

(i can hear it now: "honey think of the cost savings on shipping! It is like stealing these fish!")

lol!

Very excited about the progress and hope that it leads to plentyful angelfish. However, I cannot see myself spending that kind of jack. Wife and kid insist on eating for some reason.

I found this on the rct website today, but the purchase page still does not indicates sales are available? Does that mean we are close?

"Hawaiian Resplendent Angelfish- C. resplendens x C. fisheri
Industry First (First raised at RCT in September 2006)
The hybrid is presently available for purchase at RCT Direct"

 

[roktsintst]

That has been that way for at least a year now.

 

[skh]

Any updates on this and the planned market availability? It's all very cool.

 

[forddna]

+1..?? bump!

 

[copps]

I spoke to Frank a few days ago... again he has angelfish and things are chugging along... expect something this year... aside from that I cannot say much more... just be ready...

Exciting! Maybe someday they will be available at prices competitive with illegal collection methods.

 

[tymon]

Good stuff.
