ready to go!

These have settled in very well.

L340 nearly all are sexually mature adults

LDA72 also

L 190 are awesome. Chomping wood, bloodworm, granulate food.

Red Ghost Knife fish scooting all over tank. Seem less aggro than Black Ghosts .

[SalmonAfrica]

I can personally recommend the Red Ghost Knives to anyone whos interested, should they still be avaliable. They're much more peaceful than Black Ghosts, and stay MUCH smaller. :)

Are there still some available. would love to get 4. Where are you based.

Hello (Ross?)

Those sold out about 3-4wks ago. I am based in Montague Gardens, Milnerton area.......in Cape Town. Fish are depending on circumstances at one of a few premises.

If I recall, these fish would have been ideal for you
Seeing they are so much like Hypancistrus debilittera, which you have, but not enough to spawn?

Only have about 4-5 of above LDA72 available from that import.

Will have VERY VERY limited number of ONE of "WHITE SPOTTED Ancistrus " soon.

Can't say WHICH ONE for sure, BUT they are TANKBRED, FROM BREEDER, so it's very exciting.

Keep in touch, hey!

Altum,

Any chance you can get your hands on some Endler's Livebearers (Poecilia wingei)? They from Venezuela (though they should also be available from breeders). Why am I so interested in Endlers? See http://www.swampriveraquatics.com/

Thanks

[Altum]

Yes.

A few of my established breeders supply them, almost always.

It's safest to obtain tank-bred, several generations from wild, sourced from JUST TWO exporter-breeders.

There are FOUR FORMS available, between those two choice fish farmers.

No need to say/show why Tyrone :blink1:
....I've always acknowledged their essential SMALL gem-like beauty.

Now, just like gemstones, one or two MAY be affordable ... but rarely are they offered in anything LESS than export volumes. THEN overall order value is EXPENSIVE!

These are no reverted , wild-type guppy found in feral populations worldwide.
Just appear so , in passing, to most hobbyists.
(not us, hey!)

Thanks for getting back to me. Snooze you lose. Hopefully you will get some more in.

Hi Altum,

I'm looking for "Wild stock/original" like in the picture on the webpage I gave. Though, "peacock" or "flame" would do just as well. These guys are magnificent!

What numbers are you talking about? And more or less what price would one expect per fish? I am an Endler fanatic and may be stupid enough to pay high-way robbery prices. (Oh, what about Poecillia picta?)

I can't see how anyone can get them confused with "wild guppies". Goodness! Thats like confusing butter and cream.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

[Altum]

Tyrone, I don't mind if you also get into email contact.

This way more focus
