got my fish last night. First, major props on the packing of the
F0 frontosa I ordered. They are bigger and more beautiful than
I ever could have imagined. They are adjusting very nicely to
their new home and I already fed them this morning and they were
eating like pigs. Thanks so much...and when I get a bigger tank
I will certainly be coming back for more frontosas. I am telling
everyone about yall...." (11-17-00)
Harvey, e-mail haleigh1998@cs.com
"The
wild caught Mpimbwes (frontosa) are absolutely awesome. The show
male is really showing off his colors in the 240. All six are
doing extremely well and have adapted to the aquarium. They immediately
started eating. I have turned the 240 into my show tank, and 90%
of the fish are from your facility. Keep up the good work, and
as usual I will order again." (11-9-00)

"Just
wanted to let you know, the chromogynos F1's you sent have already
colored up and bred twice for us to date. Great fish!.....those
Eretmodus you sent us are freaking breeding machines! We're working
on our fourth spawn right now, and they seem to keep churning
them out as we strip at the start of the fourth week. You really
sell the best stock, Keegan! We'll be buying from you many years
to come, I promise. I tell everyone about your operation, too.
It's the least I can do, in return for all you've done for us." (10-24-00)

meleagris are really obnoxiously cute fish! Within a few hours
of their release, they all had staked out their own shell and
were guarding their territory as if they had lived there forever.
This was amazing considering their long flight!"

excellent as well." (9-20-00)
Helen, e-mail hhastings@amtech.com
"The
N. brevis and L. speciosus pairs arrived safely yesterday afternoon.
Within 5 minutes of release into the tank, the older speciosus
pair had already set up housekeeping--had their shells staked
out and were ready to rock and roll. All four fish are healthy
and beautiful. They showed absolutely no effects of being bagged,
boxed, and flown for hours. You are at top of my list for future
purchases of hard-to-find shell dwellers and I will recommend
Armke's to my friends. Thanks!" (9-20-00)
Harvey, e-mail hethomas@arrow.com
"I
received the shipment last night, and the box was badly damaged:
however, all fish are perfect. You did a good job packaging this
order because the carrier truly damaged this box. The gracilis
are gorgeous. As usual, keep up the good work."
(9-19-00)
Ryan, e-mail rve01@mnic.net

John, e-mail DBTopher@aol.com
"Hey
guys, I wanted to drop you an e-mail to let you know that the
6 petricolas that I purchased from you about a year and a half
ago have bred and had babies. So far I have found 4 of them. I
keep them housed in a 200 gal. tank with 27 Tropheus Illangi and
a dozen or so Cyp. Blue Flash that I bought from you also. I didn't
try and do this, just have kept up with the water quality and
such. They are great little characters! I thought you would be
interested in hearing about this. Thanks again, I am still enjoying
the fish I bought from you and now with even more added interest." (8-30-00)
John, e-mail jmm517@hotmail.com
"The
trio of Champsochromis are absolutely spectacular. The male is
showing great color....To be honest with you, more than I expected.
You were right about their breeding activity. They've been "at
it" since the moment they acclimated. They're the perfect
size, too. I have them in a bare (no rock), sand-bottomed, 180
gal. tank with a pair of Aristochromis christyi, and a pair of
Fossorochromis rostratus (both of which I also purchased from
you). They are all active swimmers. It is a beautiful open-water
habitat tanks....Thanks to you. And again, it goes without saying
that you did a marvelous job with the packing and shipping aspect
as well. Talk to you soon." (8-20-00)
Marty, e-mail T2BEARSSS@aol.com
"I
want to thank you for the great advice you gave me, about breeding
my beautiful wild caught "Kekese melanogenys" you just
sent me a short 3 months ago! What a treat to finally pull fourteen
healthy babies from the females mouth. Thank's again for the help
and for all the great fish orders you've sent me."

Greg, e-mail gleister@noln.com
"The
quality of the fish I received is excellent. All fish were alive,
healthy and exactly as specified. Your service very much exceeded
my expectations. The shipment was exactly what you said it would
be, and was delivered exactly when you said it would be. The amount
of time you gave me on the phone was much appreciated, it felt
great to get accurate, clear information without being rushed
off the phone(over 1/2 hour), especially when you weren't even
sure I was going to purchase anything. Just
to let you know the fish you sent are doing well, Thanks. (click

am nothing but impressed with your professionalism and the quality
of your fish and the shipping experience. I am an active member
of the Minnesota Aquarium Society as well as a participant in

adventure with Rift Lake Cichlids and you have helped me a lot.
I will relate that experience to others every chance I get." (7-11-00)

"Just
a quick line to let you know that all of the fish that we ordered
for our small independent pet store arrived safe and sound, even
though the flight didn't arrive until 11:40 PM our time, and one
bag had a severe leak caused by some rough baggage handlers! The
"Purple Marmalade Cats" were so awesome that I bought
them from our store for my own tank at home! The "Lion's
Cove polits are all ready "fired up" and breeding in
our store tanks. And the Bright Orange Compressiceps are out of
this world! Thanks again for selling such wonderful looking fish
that look exactly like what you show on your web site photo's." (6-25-00)

you for the beautiful fish. I am so happy to have found your website.
You have no idea how hard it is in this area to find quality cichlids,

am writing in regards to my fish order on 5/17 to Ablilene. I
love the order. (some) were a little smaller than expected, but
I love them just the same. I appreciate the quality of the fish
as I have seen fish orders go bad. I wasn't able to receive the
fish right away, so they sat in a mail room for three hours before
I picked them up. They were all strong and healthy and very alive,
so again thank you. I don't see myself ordering from anyone else
in the future." (5-22-00)
Lee, e-mail staff@aricinc.org
"I
just wanted to touch base with you to let you know the fish all
arrived safely and intact....that lemon jake male you sent is
especially lovely and seems driven to court anything with fins
in the tank! Obviously, we couldn't be happier with the order.
We just wanted you to know how much we appreciate your efforts
to get us what we wanted. We'll definitely be coming back to you
again." (5-20-00)

want to thank you for the Mpimbwe Blue Frontosas. They are gorgeous,
and I am the envy of all my friends. They were everything you
said they were and more. The Synodontis brichardi is already actively
swimming around the tank, and it seems as if it is right at home
in my 150. Again, thank you for your honesty, and I really do
appreciate your help." (5-11-00)

"Just
a quick note thanking you guys for the fantastic-looking African
cichlids you sent to us at our pet store here in Everett, Washington.
Kelly's Puppies & Pets is a small independent full-service
pet store that really tries hard to compete with the local and
national pet store chains by keeping our prices down as much as
possible and by providing high quality fish, animals and products
along with good, honest and reliable service... Our African cichlid
sales have jumped by at least 50% since we have been ordering
from you guys, and they now make up nearly half of our fish sales
on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. We here at Kelly's (Keith,
Ward and Kimberly) would like to take a minute to personally thank
you both, for not only selling what you actually offer on your
web site pictures, but for your very high quality stock of African
cichlids that you supply to us 'fish people' all over the world.
Keep up the good work." (5-10-00)
Glenn, e-mail kingcat@kua.net

you for the excellent quality of cichlids that you have shipped

you, Thank you, Thank you! My fish arrived miraculously Friday
evening (4-7) and are in great shape! The flight was apparently
late getting into Cincy., and...my best friend went to get the
fish, and long story short, sort of...I have the coolest fish
in the world! The fish have settled in well and are quickly adjusting
to the extremely varied diet I offer them. I will most certainly
be ordering again becauseyou guys were an absolute pleasure to

wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that the shipment
arrived fine and was in at 5:30 my time. The bag of Cyp. Black

in the bag and the fish were fine. I was VERY pleased to see how

quick response was much appreciated."

"The
rocks arrived last Friday. It was like Xmas...every one wrapped
carefully in foam. It was fun unwrapping each one, one at a time.
Right now they are lined up in my living room waiting to be put
into their new homes. Tell me the truth about these rocks...don't
they come round and smooth and you chain Keegan in the backyard
with a hammer and chisel adding texture and holes. If so, he does
a great job. These rocks are EXCITING! Never throught I would
order rocks from Texas over the internet, but I'm glad I did.
Thanks for the 20 pounds extra also...that was unexpected and
appreciated." (3-31-00)

shipped. I am more than happy to announce a 100% survival rate,

individual fish. Y'all have now filled three of my tanks (55,

one word can describe the Mloto fluorescent pair--'awesome'....The
chrystiis are amazing as well....Thanks for the personal service....It
was really appreciated....You'll be hearing from me soon as I
am cycling a 90-gal. corner tank....After 8 years of being strictly

particularly the Cyathopharynx species are appealing....Thanks

"I
just received the fish order I placed with you. Your packing was
very professional with 100% survival. Your fish came through almost
24 hours of travel time with no visible stress. Also I must compliment
you on the size, color, and most importantly, supplying 'exactly'
the species I wanted. Too many times in the past I have ordered
from other suppliers and received substituted species that were
similar. You can look forward to me recommending you to all my
friends in the hobby" (2-29-00)
Juan, e-mail BEARMAKER1@aol.com
"Just
to let you know about an interesting event. Remember the Chromogynos
Zue Island you sent me; well, a couple of the females spawned
and I placed them with a couple of Tropheus duboisi Maswa females
that were also holding. After about four days none of the Zue
Island females were holding any longer, so I thought that they
swallowed their respective fry. To my surprise not only are the
Zue Island fry alive and swimming but the Maswa females are holding
them. I have never heard nor read about this happening but I am
telling you the truth. Incredible!!!"

"Just
wanted to let you know the last two shipments were perfect, all
the fish are very healthy. The two synodontis catfish are awesome.
The pair of wild tetracanthus are very nasty, and very cool. Because
of the great variety, health, pricing, and ease of doing business
with you I've just purchased a larger tank. Keep up the good work." (2-10-00)

"We sure
have enjoyed the green terror Tropheus and Eretmodus cyanostictus
'Kigoma' that we purchased from you. I just wanted to tell you
that I have 12 fry from the Eretmodus and 6 from the green terrors!
I'm so excited! They're so cute. But listen to this, you know
what else has spawned at our house and who is in her barnacle
shell right now? It's the Mtosi 'zebra' compressiceps! I have
the one female and two males; of course, they're from you, no
one else would ever have such rare finds. I might also mention
that a pair of beautiful orange compressiceps that I got from
you are also fanning eggs in a barnacle at this time. The orange
comps have spawned about five times...I can't keep up with the
fry. I don't know why, but all the fish I get from you seem to
breed like crazy. Anyway, thought you would enjoy knowing what
healthy fish these are and how happy we are with them. Thanks
again for doing what you do. We really enjoy your fish."

fish you sent me have been in my tank for three days and all are
doing great. While picking up the fish at the airport we ran into
a local pet shop owner who watched as we opened the box to check
the fish. Eighteen fish and no DOA after 24-hour trip to North
Carolina! The demasoni are brilliantly colored even in the small
size. Make sure you keep a good supply of salmon 'Hippo Point'
because I'll be ordering again! P.S. the pet shop owner wanted
your info." (2-4-00)

"I ordered
some fish from you...December. I ordered some Paracyprichromis,
blue flashes, and some Salmon Hippo Point. All the fish arrived
on schedule and all made the trip successfully. The fish are magnificent
looking. So far I have used a few suppliers I have found on the
Internet. I have found your fish to be of the best quality. The
colors of the three species I purchased are incredible. I have
also acquired three very nice large pieces of the Texas holey
rock. This looks excellent in my show tank, and the fish seem
to like them also. Thanks again for your help and in answering
questions." (1-27-00)

"...after
several days, all the fish that made it are getting bigger and
fatter and seem to be settling in just fine. Thanks again. I'll
be sure to recommend your services to others interested in mail
order purchasing of fish." (1-27-00)

"Got
the five calvus, all in excellent shape. They are absolutely beautiful!
I'll be setting up a larger tank in
the near future and will be in contact. Thank you very much for
your time and effort." (1-22-00) "Colors
are bright and their bellies are very full. They took right to
brine shrimp, blood worms, and flake food. The calvus are all
over the tank getting into everything. I couldn't ask for more."

"Another order with zero casualties! Everything
is doing great, even the x-tra small E. melanogenys Namansi. They
just had a good meal of baby brine shrimp. The Cyp. leptosoma
Lusiba lime ghost are starting to show some color and they are
awesome! Once again, you have supplied me with top of the line
fish and top of the line service. I would recommend ARAF to anyone!
ARAF provides healthy fish, great prices, and incredible service.
Thank you so much and I hope to do business with you again soon."

"I just
have to compliment you on your selection of Tropheus brichardi
Mpimbwe 'Red Cheek'. They are absolutely healthy and robust. What
I like the most is that the females have a pretty good color with
those bars." (1-11-00)

wanted to let you know I picked up my fish at the airport on Friday

fish arrived early this morning at 2:40 a.m. All of the fish were
in good health except for one casualty. I am happy with your service.

may be making another order soon..." (1-3-00)

they (the fish) looked great. The Malawis looked super and the

again for a great order." (1-2-00)
