       Help Me Choose

       I am getting some fish and can't decide what to buy. I have
       never owned either and always wanted them both but can only
       choose one.  here are the choices
       1) a wild caught Aulonocara sp."Usisya Type Tanzania" flavescent
       2) Aulonocara kandeense  "Blue Orchid"
       I have always wanted a flavescent and this one is wild caught.
       I know people think wild caught fish are the best way to go but
       I have owned a couple and it was a pain to get them to eat
       processed food.  They also never really seemed to adjust to tank
       life and had a shorter life span.  call me a blasphemer but I
       think I almost prefer tank raised fish.
       After watching John's shipment videos with blue orchids I fell
       in love they are beautiful fish.  My only problem is I already
       have a Copadichromis trewavasae "Mloto Likoma" in the tank and I
       am afraid that it will look too similar with the blue orchid.
       This is a hard one for me which would you choose?

       if your only problem is the mloto being similar looking to the
       blue orchid, I would still get both. How many people here have
       flavescents and blue neons in the same tank? pretty similar
       looking fish but they both still look great. If i had to choose
       one i would go with the flavescent though.
