Heh, yep I was holding Michael whilst filming that video. I'm pretty lucky with my supply of rocks. Most of those came from lake Erie which is just 50 feet from my front door. Lots of granite. And then the cichlids for the most part came from a cichlid specialty store that has a selection that is second to none IMO. Thanks for the compliments Joel.
Oh yes. It's pretty much baby occupying one arm for a while. Our youngest is 20months already.
Wow you are CLOSE to the lake. I'm a good 10-12 miles from the shoreline, out in hilly ski country. I do have Cazenovia Creek across the street (and thru the woods a bit) from my house that has a great assortment of rocks. That's where I get mine.
I've got to research more LFSs in my area. One is close and he does have lots of cichlids. There is another sort-of locally owned franchise store in my area too. Pet Supplies Plus. Not that great a fish selection, but nice clean smaller stores, nice staff, etc. All, in I've got those three big places and one small LFS.
