    You've covered most of my wishlist there :p Choc gouramis are the number 1 species I'm always looking for. The following threads are good resources for getting help tracking down hard-to-find species:
    LFS Fish Finds
    Need for fish - MOST WANTED
    and of course the sponsor threads. I always try to post on LFS Fish Finds if I see anything interesting in a shop.

    Hi @aqua dude, I don't understand what this thread is for? Is it so that people can give names of rare type of fish they are looking for and other people can help them to find them? You are naming quite a few fish that are really not difficult to find..

    Make sure you get one with good colored parents.The ones i have are mutts (the one in my sig is a little more then a year old,i only got him in Feb though)

    There are 3 varieties,the ones with white tipped tails,the ones with orange tipped tails and the ones with red tipped tails.The ones with orange tails are usually crossbreds between red tails and white tails.There are also brossbreds between Blue Acara's and GT's but they should be disposed off.

    Hi All

    I'm willing to swop this bad boy! Talking Catfish / Spotted Catfish - Im not sure what it's correct name is?
    I had him for a while now, he is quite strong.

    I'm looking for Siamese Algae Eaters and Fish that will go well in a Planted tank.IMG-20141112-00140.jpg

    How big is your tank?,can you take a pic from the top of the catfish?

    You could go with a brislenose pleco if your tank is around 150L to 200L.
