I love how the Texas cichlid changes color when protecting eggs half the body turns ghost white at the head and back side is black normal color is like a chameleon

Order fish all the time through the mail, and Have for years. Have yet to lose one other than getting delays in shipping (one time), but the places I’ve ordered from made good on it. Trick is to just temp acclimate for 15minutes, then just let them loose, in your pond or tank etc. Ordered Koi and saltwater fish this way and using this acclimation method and have yet to lose one.
@GBBUDD look into rainbow dace , they are similar in size to the neon tetras and school but should survive your winters. They look somewhat similar at least the males during spawning season. I had them in the pond a few years back and they made it over the winter here, and this was back when the pond would ice over. The only live a few years, though…if I remember correctly.
