Hi all you westie fanatics. I recently purchased some N. dimidiatus from Zack at Aquamania. He is not sure of their true ID, but it was an interesting enough story on their background that I thought it worth the risk. Plus, Zack is a pretty sound fish-keeper and trustworthy guy. So, even if they turn out to be Zaires or something else, they still are a fairly unique Nano. I now have (supposedly) Zaire red, splendens, parilus, tranvestitus and dimidiatus? I am starting to get very curious about these Nanos. Dimidiatus hasn't been around for years, but is sometimes imported as such, but turns out to be something else. Last time I got 'dimidiatus", it turned out to be Kapou.
So the Nano adventure is continuing. I would like to get ahold of as many of thes guys as possible to try and see what the deal with them is. I am not sure why I like them so much. i think it has something to do with the fact that it is like forbidden fruit. Most of these buggers cost upwards of $100 or more and I really shouldn't be getting them, but that makes it more interesting to me. I guess that my success with the splendens (which is a very unique species) is promoting me to figure I can do the same with some of the other Nanos - Buy them for alot, breed them and make some available to those few who are interested for much less.
These (besides parilus and to a lesser degree transvestitus) are very rare and interesting animals. It would be nice to have them in the states regularly for more people to play with.
