Nice looking fish!

Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]

Thank you
When cquest went out of business the guy I bought these from purchased them directly from them

C-Quest isn't out of business, they moved to the midwest.  As far as I know they are shipping fish again becaue "C-Quest" juveniles are available up here.

Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]

That would be probably from e diaz.
He had some nice brood from them

C-quest had not shipped in over 2 years. Myself and others have tried contacting katie and no reply no answer. Some one not related to the company picks up the commercial number. I really hope they are not out of business because they have some nice products. Unfortunately I don't think thats the case

 
Right, Wyoming.  I can never remember which state it was they moved to.  I heard the same story, that they lost a bunch of their broodstock.  Kinda weird they disappeared off the face of the planet though.  I got one of their last WW and Black Ice Snows.

Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]

Like I said I wish it was not true but try and get in touch with them. If you do, you would be the first in a long time

  Katy and Bill Addison, the owners and founders, both passed away, first Katy, then Bill, within the last year or so, and their daughter is perhaps carrying on.  I suspect they are in mourning.

C-quest moved back to bills home state (Wyoming) yes a lot has happened to the company they lost a lot of broodstock in the move from puerto Rico,then bill addison pass away a few month ago the 3 month later his wife so I think she doesn't have the head for the company for now probably is to much for her to handle ,I can't blame her.
